Sweet Smoked Paprika Pimenton by La Dalia

The Sweet Smoked Paprika Pimenton by La Dalia is a crucial ingredient to make an authentic Paella. It also enhances the taste of potatoes, stews, and sauces.

Its intense smokiness pairs beautifully with roasted meats, chicken, and fish, providing its characteristic smoky flavor. Essential for the preparation of the traditional Galician octopus.

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!
