Paprika Smoked 70g
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.
Why Choose Our Smoked Paprika?
Authentic, Rich Smokiness: Delivers a genuine, woody smoke flavour that is far superior to paprika with added liquid smoke.
Versatile Flavour Powerhouse: The quickest way to add a smoky dimension to soups, meats, vegetables, and dips.
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.
