Las Hermanas Dark Chocolate with Smoked Paprika – Spanish Tablet 80g

Las Hermanas pairs dark chocolate with smoked paprika from La Vera, the Spanish region whose pimentón has held protected designation of origin status for centuries. The result is a single tablet that balances cocoa depth with the warm, slightly smoky spice of Spanish smoked pepper — a flavour combination that feels both traditional and unexpected.

This is not a novelty chocolate. The paprika arrives as a whisper, not a shout, complementing the chocolate's natural bitterness rather than overwhelming it. Each square dissolves slowly, revealing layers of flavour that linger. It's the kind of tablet you eat one square of after dinner, not by the handful.

How to enjoy

• Alone as an after-dinner palate cleanser, ideally with a glass of Spanish brandy or coffee.
• Broken into small pieces and scattered over vanilla ice cream or crème brûlée.
• Paired with aged manchego or a soft sheep's cheese for a cheese board with depth.
• Grated lightly over roasted root vegetables or butternut squash soup for a savoury-sweet note.

⭐ Why we love this

This is Spain's answer to fusion done right — Las Hermanas honours centuries of culinary tradition by pairing two iconic Spanish ingredients (dark chocolate and La Vera pimentón) with genuine restraint. The smoked paprika isn't gimmickry; it's a nod to Spanish convivialidad, where bitter, smoky, and slightly spiced flavours define the nation's palate.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Enjoy one square after dinner with a glass of Brandy de Jerez or a short espresso — the chocolate's bitterness and paprika's warmth echo the caramel notes of aged brandy. For a lighter pairing, serve alongside a crisp Fino sherry at the end of a meal.

📍 From Spain

Las Hermanas sources its smoked paprika directly from La Vera in Extremadura, where pimentón has been cold-smoked over oak for generations under strict protected denomination of origin rules. The chocolate itself is crafted by Spanish artisans who understand how to balance Iberian ingredients without overshadowing their delicate, traditional character.
