Rich, smoky flavor that imparts savory depth with mild heat.
Our rich, sweet Smoked Pimentón Paprika comes from a protected region in Western Spain, where sweet red peppers have been grown and smoked for centuries. Fresh peppers are slowly dried over oak coals, which imbue them with a rich, smoky flavor that imparts a savory depth and gorgeous color. Use it to add depth and complexity to pasta sauce or chili, use it as a rub for grilled or roasted meats, or sprinkle it over sauteed veggies.
This paprika comes from the Extremadura region, famous for pimentón de la vera, which has a Designation of Protected Origin status from the European Union.
