Paprika - Smoked, Sweet

This delicious Spanish paprika is exactly what its name indicates: sweet and smoky.

Also known as "Pimenton de la Vera, Dulce”, the peppers are smoked over oak wood fires, acquiring that deep, deliciously smoky and woodsy flavor. Paprika from La Vera, Spain, was given a Denominación de Origen status in 1993. Much like the French Appellation d'origine contrôlée, the Spanish Denominación de Origen denotes the highest quality foods and produce grown in very specific regions of the country and requiring the specific growing conditions of those regions.

Spanish sweet smoked paprika is a vibrant red color with a sweet warm flavor that is idea for paella, barbecue rubs and marinades, sausage seasoning, and grilled vegetables like corn, zucchini, and potatoes. Add smoked paprika to a home made baked macaroni and cheese for a sweet pepper smokiness that really pops. Use sweet smoked paprika anywhere Hungarian paprika is called for, and explore the added flavor complexities unlocked with this cool smoky spice.
