Smoke from La Vera

La Dalia works in Jaraíz de la Vera, at the heart of the protected production zone for Pimentón de la Vera. The region’s fully ripe red peppers are slowly dried in the traditional manner over oak or holm-oak wood before milling. This patient process gives the paprika its intense colour, stable aroma, and penetrating smoke.

The house offers the protected spice in Dulce, Agridulce, and Picante expressions. The sweet style is gentle and rounded, while the hot style brings a pronounced chilli warmth; both retain the resonant smoke that defines La Vera paprika. La Dalia’s compact tins bring this regional craft into the everyday kitchen for sauces, stews, salads, and classic Spanish preparations.
