1. Description

This Paprika Smoked 200g is crafted using traditional European methods. Fresh, ripe red peppers are slowly dried and smoked over natural oak wood, giving the spice a deep, rich, and complex smoky character that instantly elevates any dish.

Whether sprinkled over roasted potatoes, added to sauces, or used in marinades, this smoked paprika provides an unmistakable gourmet flair that captivates the senses.

Deep Red Colour and Smooth Texture

The rich, vibrant red colour of this paprika not only enhances flavour but also adds visual appeal to every dish. Its fine, silky texture allows it to blend seamlessly into marinades, rubs, soups, and sauces — ensuring even distribution and a professional finish every time.
