A classic and essential Spanish condiment, this smoky, rusty-red condiment Pimenton de la Vera is a richly complex paprika that comes from La Vera, where its production is strictly supervised and controlled. Pimenton de la Vera is made by smoking fresh hand-harvested and hand-selected red peppers for 15 days over Encino oak wood, for a sweet, smoky and spicy hot paprika flavor that lingers in the palate. The peppers are then ground on granite millstones for the perfect velvey texture. Use Pimenton de la Vera for an authentic Spanish Paella, to create dips, to season meats and seafood, and to create amazing Spanish tortillas for tapas, and really anywhere you want to add some sweet smokiness. This Pimenton de la Vera by La Dalia is certified organic by both Spain and the USDA, so you get a pure, untreated condiment free of any agrotoxics, pesticides or pollutants.
