San Nicasio Patatas Fritas al Pimentón de la Vera – Spanish Crisps 150g

San Nicasio's crisp potatoes arrive seasoned with smoked paprika from La Vera, a designation-of-origin region in Extremadura where the peppers are wood-fired and ground by hand. The crunch is genuine, the flavor clean — paprika smoke without heat, balanced by extra virgin olive oil and pink Himalayan salt. A proper Spanish snack, not a condiment pretending to be a crisp.

About this product

These are thin-cut potato crisps coated in extra virgin olive oil, smoked paprika (pimentón de la Vera DOP), and Himalayan pink salt. The paprika comes from peppers dried over oak and oak-wood embers, which gives the finished crisp a subtle, authentic smoke character. No artificial flavors or excessive salt — just three elements working together. Each 150-gram bag is ideal for a quick tapa, a snack board, or a single sitting.

How to enjoy

• Straight from the bag as an aperitivo with a glass of sherry or Spanish beer.
• Crumbled over a bowl of gazpacho or salmorejo for texture.
• Alongside a wedge of manchego or jamón ibérico on a small plate.
• In a mixed snack spread with pan con tomate, olives, and aged Idiazabal cheese.

⭐ Why we love this

San Nicasio captures the soul of Spanish snacking: a single ingredient (potato) elevated by pimentón de la Vera, the only paprika worthy of a protected designation in Spain. The wood-smoke flavor is restrained and authentic — no artificial coating, just the honest taste of Extremadura's centuries-old smoking tradition.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair with a chilled Fino sherry or a crisp Albariño for the classic Spanish aperitivo experience. They're equally at home alongside cecina or jamón ibérico, where the paprika's subtle smoke complements cured meat beautifully.

📍 From Spain

Sourced from Extremadura, home to La Vera — a UNESCO-recognized region where pimentón has been smoked over oak since the 16th century. San Nicasio respects this heritage by using only DOP paprika, ensuring every crisp carries the authentic terroir of Spain's most storied paprika valley.
