Product Description

Product Description
Pimenton smoked paprika is an essential ingredient for authentic tasting paella. But more than that, you will find this smoked paprika is excellent for general cooking at home. It may be used as a flavoring for potatoes and fish dishes, light stews, sauces, garlic chicken and roasted meats. Each type has a subtly different flavor: sweet, bittersweet, and picante - spicy. If you like to be creative with your cooking, you will find distinct uses for each of the three. Please do not confuse this paprika with the bland paprika you get at the local supermarket -- or even with the traditional Hungarian paprika. Smoked Paprika has a much deeper flavor and is decidedly smoky.The peppers used to produce all three varieties of Pimenton de la Vera are meticulously hand-harvested in early October and sent to warehouses where they are slow-smoked for fifteen days. The whole peppers become saturated with the smoke of smoldering oak logs, adding intense flavor while preserving their natural blood-red color. After being stone-ground into a velvety powder, the pimenton is shipped directly from the La Vera valley to La Tienda to ensure freshness.

5.0 out of 5 stars You've Got to TRY This!!, May 22, 2007

By	Michele Jessee (Somerset, KY) - See all my reviews

I'd heard of smoked paprika on several cooking shows, but could not find it locally. Although the cost is more than typical grocery store priced spices, it is well worth the money. It's great on fish, with Mexican dishes, and chili. Just use it sparingly. I sent my mother a tin; she says it's wonderful on deviled eggs. I plan to try it with a lot of other recipes.

By	J. Glenn (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This smoked paprika will spice up any dish and give it a wonderful smokey flavor that you can't get from liquid smoke products. I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have, May 25, 2009

By	Joanne "Gotta Eat, Gotta Cook" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This is a necessity for paella and even other Latina or southwest cooking. You cannot get the same taste from the regular Hungarian sweet or hot paprika. There is a backnote of smokiness that you cannot deny. As others have mentioned, this is a very multi-functional seasoning, you cannot go wrong; and with all three flavors (sweet, hot and bittersweet), you've got ALL your bases covered. I purchase this item many times not only for myself but for others who are always happy to receive it b/c it is not readily found in markets.
