This is what smoke tastes like when it’s been perfected over centuries.Spanish smoked paprika — pimentón de la Vera — is made from peppers slow-dried over oak fires in the Extremadura region of Spain. The result is a deep, complex smokiness that no liquid smoke or shortcut can replicate. Rich red colour, bold flavour, and a warmth that builds slowly and lingers.Use in rubs, stews, paella, roasted vegetables, eggs, and anything that needs a hit of authentic smoke without the pit.Spain’s greatest contribution to the spice rack.
