Terre Exotique Smoked Paprika (Pimentón), 60g (2.1 oz)

Originally from Spain, this Terre Exotique Smoked Paprika, known as Pimentón de la Vera, is made from red peppers dried over oak wood fires, then ground into a fine powder. It offers an intense, smoky flavor without heat, perfect for enhancing dishes with subtlety. A staple in Spanish cuisine, it’s the secret behind the flavors of paella, chorizo, or pulpo a la gallega. This smoked pimentón can be used as a finishing spice or during cooking to flavor sauces, meats, fish, or vegetables. It adds color and aroma to dishes without making them spicy. Sprinkle it into olive oil for a marinade, stir it into homemade tomato sauce, or mix it into a béchamel for a gratin with a smoky twist. Recipe ideas to try: Roast chicken with smoked pimentón: rub a mix of pimentón, olive oil, garlic, and salt onto a chicken before roasting; Smoky lentil soup: add a teaspoon of pimentón at the start of cooking for a rustic, warming touch; Spanish-style sautéed potatoes: sprinkle with pimentón just before
