Paprika is a spice made from dried peppers that have been ground, and if required, smoked. Giving it a distinctive sweet and smoky flavour along with a rich, vibrant colour.
This spice plays a key role in the flavour profiles of many traditional Spanish and Eastern European dishes, where it complements other robust ingredients.
Food service companies often use sweet smoked paprika to capture the authentic taste of recipes such as seafood paella and European goulash, as well as side dishes like patatas bravas.
Ready meal manufacturers also utilise sweet smoked paprika as a natural colouring agent, adding vibrancy to soups, sauces and processed meats.
This spice pairs particularly well with ingredients like chorizo, sweet peppers, garlic, olive oil, and various beans and pulses. Additionally, Sweet Smoked Paprika has undergone steam treatment for enhanced safety and quality.
