Las Hermanas Sweet Smoked Paprika – DOP La Vera 70g

Las Hermanas smoked paprika comes from the oak-wood smoke houses of La Vera, a region in Cáceres where paprika production is protected by denomination of origin. This sweet variety carries the deep, gentle smoke of traditional drying — no heat, pure flavor. At 70 grams, a jar lasts through dozens of Spanish dishes: patatas bravas, chorizo caldo, pulpo a la gallega, or simply scattered over roasted vegetables and olive oil.

About this product

Sweet smoked paprika (pimentón dulce ahumado) is made from ripe red peppers, dried over oak fires for weeks, then ground to a fine powder. The result is a paprika with a distinctive smoky depth and a mild, approachable heat. Unlike hot varieties, this one opens doors for home cooks new to Spanish cooking — it seasons without intimidating. The flavor is warm and slightly earthy, with no bitterness.

How to enjoy

• Dust over patatas bravas or pan con tomate
• Stir into sofrito or oil to build the base of a paella or stew
• Season grilled octopus, fish, or chorizo
• Mix into mayonnaise or aioli for a Spanish twist
• Sprinkle over roasted peppers and goat cheese

⭐ Why we love this

Las Hermanas pimentón is the soul of La Vera's culinary identity — oak-smoked for weeks in traditional wooden houses, it captures centuries of Spanish technique in a single spoon. This sweet variety is the gateway to authentic Spanish cooking, delivering the unmistakable depth of smoked paprika without heat or pretense.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Dust this over grilled chorizo and sip a crisp Fino sherry, or stir into hot olive oil as the base for a proper paella alongside a medium-bodied Tempranillo. It's equally at home on simple tapas — roasted peppers with goat cheese and a glass of cold vermouth.
