Pimenton Hot Paprika Powder

Made by drying ripe red peppers, grinding them into a fine powder, and blending varieties that include hotter pepper types to achieve its heat level. The peppers are dried before milling to preserve colour, aroma, and flavour compounds. It is widely used in Spanish cooking to season chorizo, stews, roasted potatoes, beans, and marinades, or stirred into olive oil to create a flavoured base for dishes. A small amount is usually enough to add colour, warmth, and depth without overpowering the other ingredients.
