This tremendous, deeply flavored sauce gets its heat from red pepper flakes; it's robust smoked flavour comes from Pimentón de La Vera. Spain's renowned smoked paprika has a rich history rooted in the region's unique microclimate and an ingenious traditional smoking method, earning it a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. The history behind this paprika is both fascinating and centuries old. Columbus brought the Capsicum annuum back from the new world where it was found to be perfect for growing in the La Vera valley. Due to heavy autumn rains the peoples of La Vera use an indoor smoking process to dry the peppers rather than the traditional sun dried method practiced throughout Spain.
Ideal for homemade pizzas, Cioppino, or as a base for your chilli; we guarantee your friends and family will be wowed by the full flavored, rich & silky mouth-feel this sauce brings to your dishes.
