Smoked chili pepper - Pimenton

Smoked Pimentón , also known as Paprika de la Vera , is the essence of Spanish sunshine in powder form! This traditional paprika is dried and smoked over holm oak wood in the La Vera region, a historic land with a magical microclimate. It is thanks to this ancestral know-how, passed down since the 16th century, that this paprika develops a unique smoky aroma , a vibrant dark red color , and above all, an inimitable chorizo flavor .

And it's no coincidence that Yotam Ottolenghi has made it a key ingredient in his cooking! He uses it to flavor his roasted vegetables, sauces, stews, and even his smoky soups. This sweet chili pepper (Capsicum annuum), perfectly balanced, is ideal for adding a warm, smoky touch to tortillas, paellas, salmon croquettes, marinades, and everyday dishes.

Suggestions for use:

• Sprinkle it over a tortilla de patatas, in true Iberian style.

• Perfect in homemade mayonnaise, hummus or tomato sauce

• Use it to marinate roast chicken or grilled vegetables Ottolenghi style

• Sublime on scrambled eggs, white fish or baked potatoes

• And why not use it in a savory biscuit dough or homemade crackers!
