Smoked Spicy Pimenton de La Vera - 750g

Smoked Spicy Pimentón de la Vera

Pimentón de la Vera is a renowned Spanish smoked paprika from the La Vera region, celebrated for its deep red colour, intense smoky aroma, and bold, spicy flavour. This exceptional spice is crafted from specific pepper varieties, primarily Jeromín, Jariza, and Jaranda, known for their distinctive heat profiles. These peppers are hand-harvested at peak ripeness and then smoke-dried over oak fires in a meticulous process lasting 10 to 15 days. This traditional method imparts a unique smoky depth and preserves the paprika's vibrant colour and robust flavour.

Finca La Barca's DOP certification ensures the authenticity and quality of their Pimentón de la Vera, supporting local farmers and preserving time-honored production methods. This spicy smoked paprika is a versatile ingredient, enhancing dishes such as paella, stews, chorizo, patatas bravas, marinades, grilled meats, and roasted vegetables with its distinctive smoky heat.
