Rust red in colour with a unique smoky flavour, Pimentón de La Vera, or smoked paprika, is a versatile seasoning used in countless Spanish recipes. Made from freshly harvested peppers smoked for 15 days over encina oak wood fires, this pimentón is slightly sweet tasting with an intense smoked flavour. It is this intense smoky flavour that sets it apart. La Dalia is the original brand of Pimentón de La Vera, and they still use stone mills to create the finest, most flavourful smoked paprika in Spain. Olé!
The peppers used to produce La Dalia Pimentón de la Vera are hand-harvested each year in early autumn. Just after harvesting, the peppers are sent to wooden smokehouses filled with the smoke of encina oak wood fires. For 15 days, the peppers are dried in this intense smoke. Once dried, La Dalia grinds the peppers on traditional granite millstones - resulting in a silky, rust-red paprika that is both deeply flavoured and smoky.
Founded in 1913, La Dalia was the first company to produce the famous smoked paprika of La Vera. For generations, this family owned company has produced the finest quality pimentón using traditional production methods. This Pimentón de La Vera is Denominación de Origen (D.O.) - assuring its quality and authenticity.

The flavour of the paprika is just right. So delicious. I made a piri piri sauce with it on Friday night and it turned out perfectly. I can't wait to try it in some other recipes.

The reason I chose this product was for the tins. I love tins, any size, shape, colour etc. What a surprise to find that I even liked the spice. On chicken it is wonderful and really brings out the flavour.

This real paprika has a smokey flavour and is a great addition to special or everyday meals. Affordable, and I would rather use this for cooking than any other paprika.

Not only do I use pimentón in paella, I tend to add it to most dishes I prepare lately. In varying amounts it adds lovely colour tone and a distinct smokey complexity. I was once hooked on coriander, to my husband’s grief, and now I alternate between pimentón and coriander ☺
I especially love a great Spanish soup which uses pimento as an essential ingredient – look it up Sopa de Ajo. One of the simplest soups to make, yet utterly soothing.

Love the taste, love the aroma, love the tin... I've used this over pizza, pasta bakes, potato bake, fries, in sauces... it just always works! However, don't be too heavy-handed with this stuff, it's really potent ;)

I have been hunting for smoked paprika for AGES and haven't been able to find any in the shops. I live in Hermanus, which is a small town so short of going into Cape Town, I had no hope of finding any. Then I saw it on Yuppiechef and bought a tin. What a lovely spice it is! As soon as you open the flap, you can smell the rich, smoked aroma and when you use it in a recipe, it imparts a unique and wonderful flavour to your food. Just be careful, though. It's quite strong so rather add too little at first and then a bit more if necessary, rather than adding too much in one go and spoiling your dish. LOVELY STUFF (and the tin is pretty too!).

The sweet smoked Paprika is a must to add another dimension to any dish, especially a stew or paella.
The aroma is comforting and the flavour is superb.

Smoked paprika is currently my favourite savoury ingredient, and enhances soups, stews and pies on a par with bacon. And I love its pretty vintage tin - perfect for gifts.

It has added a whole new dimension to my cooking.

This paprika has a beautiful deep, sweet earthy smell and gives an extra, exotic fragrance to the dishes that normal paprika simply does not have. Love it!!

I made a very simple chicken recipe and everyone loved it - could only be due to the flavour of the Paprika! It is lovely and rich, you don't need to add too much, so it goes a long way too.

Paprika is not paprika until you have tried La Dalia. Both the Sweet Smoked and the Hot Smoked are a staple in my kitchen.
After opening the tin I realised I had to throw out all the paprika I had bought from elsewhere.
This paprika is rich in aroma and so full of flavour. It will revolutionise your cooking!

Haven't used paprika that much in cooking, but this has a really nice smokey taste.
Made a rub for salmon on the grill this past weekend and it was really good. I'll definitely buy again when mine is done (shouldn't take too long).

I've heard a lot about smoked paprika, so decided to try it (I cook a lot with standard "supermarket" paprika). This product is delicious - the additional smokeyness lifts the flavour of dishes, and I am hooked!

Don't confuse this paprika with the red powder that you buy in supermarkets because this is the real thing and in terms of value for money, I think it is a bargain.

We particularly like to use this in a warming chilli con carne. We also use it as part of a spice mix that we put on chicken breasts that we serve with a zingy tomato and corn salsa. YUM!

I tried it for the first time tonight. And I tried it with a lovely mutton stew I made. It was gorgeous ! Its not overpowering, smells like smokey bacon. Its a keeper and I definitely recommend this ! Don't be afraid to try something new, you might end up being pleasantly surprised just like me. 😜. #LaDalia #Spanish #Sweet #SmokedPaprika

I use both the hot and sweet paprika. This is the real paprika, not the stuff that is labelled paprika and could be any chilli. It gives a huge depth of flavour to dishes. Oh, and because it says sweet, it's not for puddings! It's just not hot, just flavoursome.
