La Vera Smoked Hot Paprika comes from a variety of Capsicum annuum chile peppers that are grown in La Vera, a municipal region found within the province of Extremadura in western Spain. It is also referred to as hot smoked paprika, pimentón, or pimentón picante.
To give this paprika its signature flavor, these peppers are dried and smoked over an oak fire for about 15 days. This ensures that the peppers are dry enough to store, have taken on the right amount of smoke, and have developed color stability, so they will stay the same jewel-toned vibrant red.
Our La Vera Smoked Hot Paprika is fruity and complex, with smoky richness.
