Smoked Hot Paprika De La Vera

Smoked Hot Paprika De La Vera from The Artisan Food Company celebrates the celebrated Pimentón de la Vera, a cornerstone of Spanish gastronomy. Produced in the province of Cáceres, Extremadura, this paprika is crafted using peppers grown in the fertile soils of the Tiétar Valley. After harvest, the peppers are dried and smoked slowly over oak wood fires, a centuries-old process that imparts a bold, smoky aroma and vibrant colour unmatched by any other spice. The result is a richly flavoured paprika with balanced heat and complexity — the hallmark of authentic De La Vera quality. Used by chefs across Europe, it’s indispensable for adding depth to paella, marinades, roasted meats and stews. Each batch is protected under the Denomination of Origin (DOP) seal, guaranteeing authenticity and adherence to traditional Spanish methods. The Artisan Food Company works directly with small-scale producers who prioritise sustainability and artisanal precision, ensuring every jar delivers the same intensity and integrity that made this paprika famous worldwide. With its distinctive aroma, vivid hue, and warming spice, Smoked Hot Paprika De La Vera is more than a seasoning — it’s a culinary tradition, offering true Spanish spirit in every pinch.
