PIMENTON DE LA VERA (SWEET Smoked)

70 grams Tin - France

Pimentón de la Vera is a paprika made from luscious red peppers (pimientos) grown in the La Vera microclimate of Spain's Extremadura region. Mature peppers are dried and smoked over oak fires and then stone-ground to a fine powder. Dulce is the "sweet" version of this paprika (rather than hot-spicy); its hint of sweetness flows through its smoky warm flavor. The flavor of pimentón is much more complex than Hungarian paprika and is an absolutely essential ingredient for many Spanish dishes.



Use and Serving Suggestions:

Use Pimentón de la Vera in all the ways you normally use Hungarian paprika and savor its depth of flavor and smoky complexity. We especially love Pimentón de la Vera on Roasted Chickpeas - a delicious, healthful snack.
