- Traditional Spanish spice
- Distinctively smoky flavor
- Size - 2 x 2.5 oz/70 g
Bittersweet Pimentón Agridulce is La Vera's most traditional spice -- used for home-cured sausages, grilled meats and rich stews through the centuries in the north of Spain -- and makes up 2/3 of the total production of paprika in Spain.
Smoked paprika is made from a blood red pepper that produces a satisfyingly prickly piquant heat. The noted author Penelope Casas selects this bittersweet variety of pimentón for all of her paella recipes. You will be delighted to experience how this product produces a distinctively smoky flavor booster for your homemade stews and sauces.
I like to add a small amount to my Pollo al Ajillo / garlic chicken, or on a roast lamb. You can also make home made French fries -- with a difference. Bittersweet Pimentón Agridulce can be used as a flavoring for potatoes and fish dishes, light stews, sauces, garlic chicken and roasted meats. I find it useful when I want to provide a subtle extra. And it absolutely transforms deviled eggs!

"Both the Bittersweet and Hot paprika are excellant.This spice is not available other than on line or in large cities in the southern part of the province.

"Wow! Made a lamb stew and the deep, slightly hot flavor imparted by the agridulce pimenton was wonderful."
Steve Carlson
"Deep, rich, smokey flavor -- it was perfect for pulpo a la gallega (octopus), and paella. "

"Although you sent me one agridulce and one picante paprika instead of 2 agridulce, both products are superb. We like spicy food and the picante is wonderful, too. I never knew paprika could have such an unusually wonderful flavor. I sauteed potatoes with the picante - incredible! I used the agridulce in a rub recipe for oven roasted brisket I found in the New York Times Dining & Wine section - also used it in the sauce. What a wonderful smokey, savory taste. I will definitely try some more of your excellent products."
