La Hermana Smoked Paprika from La Vera – Hot Spanish Spice – Pack of 2 (2 × 70g)

La Vera's smoked paprika has been a cornerstone of Spanish cooking for centuries, and Las Hermanas captures that tradition in every pinch. This hot variety carries the distinctive fruity, smoky warmth that comes from paprika peppers dried over oak wood fires in the mountains of Cáceres, Extremadura. A small amount goes a long way—the heat builds gently, and the smoke lingers on the palate like a whisper of Spanish countryside.

Unlike bright, fresh paprika, this pimentón is deepened by the smoking process, which concentrates the pepper's natural oils and adds layers of flavor that transform simple dishes into something memorable. It's the spice that makes chorizo taste like chorizo, and gazpacho taste like summer in Andalusia.

How to enjoy

• Dust over patatas bravas or crema de queso for a classic tapa.
• Stir into sofrito as the base for paella or arroz a la mexicana.
• Season cured meats, chorizo, or morcilla during preparation.
• Finish a simple white fish or roasted chicken breast with a pinch to deepen the flavor.
• Add to Spanish tortilla batter for warmth and color.

⭐ Why we love this

La Hermana's pimentón is the authentic soul of Spanish cuisine—those oak-smoked peppers from La Vera are protected by D.O. status, meaning this exact smoking method has been guarded for generations. It's the non-negotiable ingredient that defines chorizo, morcilla, and countless regional Spanish dishes; using anything else simply isn't Spanish cooking.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve alongside a crisp Fino sherry and jamón ibérico—the smoke and heat of the paprika complement the salty, nutty depths of aged ham and the bone-dry salinity of the sherry perfectly. Or dust over grilled gambas al ajillo with a cold glass of Albariño for a simple but unforgettable tapa.
