Hot smoked sweet paprika powder, red

Product description

Discover Spanish paprika as a finely ground, vibrant red powder that is hot smoked over oak wood. The result is a sweet, smoked paprika with an intense colour and a fine, even texture, ideal for hearty cooking.

Several days of smoking and drying concentrate the flavour while significantly reducing the weight of the pods. The powder flows freely, is easy to dose and is supplied by Biova in bulk for foodservice and food production.

This hot smoked paprika powder adds a distinctive smoky note to dishes without the need for a grill or smoker. Use it with meat, vegetables, stews or plant-based alternatives to create targeted bursts of flavour and rich colour.

Origin

This paprika seasoning comes from Spain, where warm, sunny conditions allow the pods to ripen fully. Only fully ripe, red fruits with intense colour and a well-balanced aroma are processed. For this, Biova works with specialised producers of smoked paprika.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The paprika plants are grown in open fields and harvested at full maturity. The producers then smoke the pods for several days over oak wood, slowly drying them until they lose more than 90% of their weight, before grinding them into a fine powder in bulk quality.

Key features

What makes this product special is the combination of sweet paprika and intense smokiness. Hot smoking over oak wood gives the spice a deep, warm flavour profile that clearly sets it apart from unsmoked paprika powder and makes it ideal for Biova spice blends.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the growing region, smoking time and type of wood used, the colour and flavour of smoked paprika can vary. For this Biova product, only batches with a strong red colour and a well-balanced ratio of sweetness to smoke are selected to ensure consistent quality for high-volume users.

Taste & aroma

The paprika powder has a clearly smoky aroma with warm, woody notes and a fruity paprika component. On the palate it offers a sweet base without heat, accompanied by a pronounced smokiness that gives many dishes depth and a characteristic BBQ profile.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning meat dishes, grilled foods and BBQ marinades with an intense smoky note.
• Enhancing soups, stews, goulash and paella with colour and flavour.
