View more great items What Does La Vera Smoked Sweet Paprika Taste Like? 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. 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.Paprika smoked sweet ranks low on the SHU scale, usually ranking at about 500 SHU. Paprika smoked hot (picante) ranks 500 - 1000 SHU. Now don't think of this as a "burn your face off" type of heat like you might get with some chili. Its characteristic dark red color spreads evenly throughout any dish. If there are any issues with the order, please contact me to sort out the problem prior to providing feedback.
