Paprika Smoked 70g
Transform your dishes with the deep, smoky aroma of our Smoked Paprika. Made from peppers slow-smoked over oak fires, this rich red powder adds an instant campfire flavour to paellas, stews, rubs, and roasted vegetables. The secret to authentic Spanish cooking.
The Essence of the Spanish Fire, Captured in a Jar
Imagine the rich, smoky scent of peppers roasting over an open wood fire. Our Smoked Paprika captures that exact experience. Unlike regular paprika, these peppers are traditionally smoke-dried over oak embers before being stone-ground into a fine powder. This process imbues them with an intense, woody smokiness and a deep, earthy sweetness that can elevate the simplest ingredients.
This is the non-negotiable spice for creating the authentic, complex depth of Spanish classics, from paella to patatas bravas, and a powerful tool for adding a smoky barbecue note to dishes without ever lighting a grill.

Vibrant Colour & Flavour: Provides a beautiful red hue and a deep, sweet-smoky taste simultaneously.
100% Pure & Natural: Contains nothing but smoked and ground red peppers. No additives, colours, or fillers.
Culinary Inspiration: How to Use Smoked Paprika
Unlock the smoky potential of this versatile spice:
Spanish Classics: The essential base for authentic paella, patatas bravas, and chorizo sausage.
BBQ & Grilling: Create incredible rubs for chicken, pork, and steak or mix into barbecue sauces.
Roasted Vegetables: Toss potatoes, cauliflower, or chickpeas in oil and smoked paprika before roasting.
Soups & Stews: Add a teaspoon to chili, lentil soup, and goulash for a smoky backbone.
Deviled Eggs & Dips: The secret ingredient for the best deviled eggs and a smoky twist on aioli.
How to Use: For the most flavour, add during cooking to allow the smokiness to meld into the dish. It can also be used as a colourful garnish. Note: It has a low Scoville rating and provides smoke, not heat.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect its vibrant colour and potent smoky aroma.
