Smoked Paprika

This flavorful smoked paprika is Spain's secret spice. Pimentón de la Vera adds a key flavor to paellas, fabada and other Spanish dishes. It crosses into American cuisine as a seasoning for barbecue pork, kebabs and the best deviled eggs you will ever try. The secret to its flavor is long smoking over holm oak logs, lending it an intensity of flavor you can't find in other paprikas. Pimentón de La Vera comes in three varieties: sweet (dulce), bittersweet/medium hot (agridulce) and hot (picante).
