PAPRIKA SMOKED SWEET/ SMOKED SWEET LA VERA SPAIN 2 OZ- 32 OZ RECLOSABLE BAG/S

Smoked paprika is a deep red spice made from dried chili peppers, which are smoked, typically over oak or beech wood, before being dried and ground to a fine powder. It is a central element of most traditional Spanish recipes, where it is still made today. You will find both hot and sweet smoked paprika. Usually, the main difference is that the hot version is made with the chili seeds included, whereas the sweet smoked version has them removed before the grinding takes place (SHU 100-250). La Vera Smoked Sweet Paprika What Does La Vera Smoked Sweet Paprika Taste Like? La Vera Smoked Sweet Paprika tastes like chili with a smoky overtone. It is deeply rich and an exceptionally flavorful paprika. There is a region of Spain called La Vera which is known for its highly sought after paprika. This paprika is described as some of the most flavorful from anywhere in the world. It is even distinguished as a food with the Protected Denomination of Origin, as well. This status means that only paprika produced in this region can be called La Vera paprika, and it is carefully monitored to make sure that it is produced the same way every time for the best product. This paprika is excellent on seafood and rice dishes, but it also makes a tasty addition to almonds. Some traditional dishes that utilize the smokiness of paprika include the Spanish classic chorizo, as well as paella. You can’t make these two things without paprika. In fact, the bright red color of chorizo comes from this spice. This color comes from the high levels of carotene in the chili. You can use this in anything from pasta dishes to deviled eggs, the classic dish that many people associate with the holidays. Be warned though, this is not your grandmother’s flavorless paprika used only for decoration. This paprika is beautiful to look at but also beautifully flavorful, with a rich smokiness that is very noticeable. It is also delicious in cheesy dishes, on grilled meats, or with roasted vegetables. A quick rub for chicken or vegetables before they hit the grill can be made by combining paprika with olive oil to taste and then using that mixture on the food. The spice imparts some extraordinary flavor while the olive oil helps keep the food from sticking. This paprika ranks low on the SHU scale, usually ranking at about 500 SHU.
