El Angel Smoked Paprika Dulce, Coarse Ground, Spanish Paprika for Paella and Charcuterie Reviews

Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Spanish smoked paprika, known as Pimenton, is a traditional Spanish ingredient made from red peppers grown and produced exclusively in Extremadura. The peppers are smoked before being ground in ancient stone mills, resulting in a coarse, smoky paprika with a pleasant warmth and high coloring characteristic. This versatile spice is essential in authentic Spanish dishes, particularly in paella, where it provides the base flavor when added to the oil as the rice fries. Use it in stews, sprinkle on chicken breasts, pasta sauces, stroganoff sauce, as a marinade for barbecue meats, or as a dip. Spanish paprika adds depth and richness to a variety of dishes, making it a must-have in any kitchen.

First of all I'd like to say what a brilliant find Basco is. I stumbled on the website whilst looking for an authentic Albondigas recipe for my daughters birthday, the recipe was easy to follow and got a big thumbs up from our 6yr old who is a meatball fanatic when we're in Malaga. We've used the paprika in a couple of recipes from Basco, and it is so much better than normal supermarket paprika. A lovely mellow smoke, authentic taste and the can looks great in kitchen.
