Hot Smoked Paprika Pimenton by La Dalia

The Hot Smoked Paprika Pimenton by La Dalia offers a zesty and mildly spicy flavor profile that's perfect for enhancing the taste of barbecued meats, roasted potatoes, and various Spanish dishes, including paella.

This Pimentón de la Vera is milled from a blend of different Spanish peppers, resulting in a rust-red hue and intense smoky aroma, far superior to the bland varieties found in typical grocery stores.

Despite its "hot" designation, don't be intimidated! Spanish cuisine emphasizes rich flavor over intense spiciness. This paprika adds a delightful kick without overpowering the dish.

Pimentón de La Vera, or smoked paprika, stands out as a versatile seasoning widely used in Spanish cuisine. Crafted from freshly picked peppers that undergo a 15-day smoking process over encina oak wood fires, this pimentón offers a mild yet richly smoked flavor that distinguishes it from ordinary paprika found in most supermarkets.

La Dalia remains the premier brand for Pimentón de La Vera, maintaining its reputation for producing Spain's finest smoked paprika using traditional stone mills.

Each autumn, La Dalia carefully hand-harvests the peppers before subjecting them to the smoke of encina oak wood fires for two weeks. After this process, the peppers are ground using traditional granite millstones, resulting in a silky, rust-red paprika with a deep, smoky flavor profile.

A must-having among Spanish groceries!
