Organic Smoked Paprika Powder, hot-smoked, red

Product description

Biova Organic Paprika is a bright, intensely red, finely ground smoked paprika powder from Spain, traditionally hot-smoked over oak wood. Fully ripened pods develop a pronounced smoky note and a bold, expressive aroma.

The fine / flaky grind ensures excellent dispersion in liquids, marinades and spice blends and makes precise dosing easy. Supplied in bulk with around 1.05 kg per bag, this Biova spice is particularly attractive for foodservice, artisan producers and other professional users.

In hot dishes, the smoked organic paprika lends stews, sauces, grilled dishes and BBQ rubs an authentic smoky note. In vegan and vegetarian cooking, the red paprika powder also serves as a flavourful base for hearty, savoury creations.

Origin

The paprika pods come from Spain, where sunny, warm conditions favour open-field cultivation and help develop an intense natural aroma. Typical Spanish smoked paprika is prized for its vivid red colour and characteristic smoky flavour.

Cultivation / production / harvest

After harvesting, fully ripe red pods are selected, cleaned and dried for several days over oak fires while being hot-smoked. They are then milled into a homogeneous, fine / flaky paprika powder that mixes well and is easy to dose.

Special features

Key characteristics are the strong red colour, the fine / flaky texture and the intense smoky aroma, which clearly sets it apart from unsmoked paprika powder. As a Biova bulk product, this spice is optimally tailored to higher usage in professional kitchens and artisan production.

Differences in origin and processing

Spanish smoked paprika is traditionally dried over hardwood such as oak, which creates a deep, warm smoky flavour. Compared with air-dried paprika powders, the result is more savoury, complex and colour-intense.

Taste & aroma

On the palate it shows an intensely smoky profile with sweet, fruity paprika notes and pleasant seasoning, without heat. The aroma is reminiscent of wood smoke, grilled vegetables and the typical flavours of Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning stews, goulash, soups and sauces with a robust smoky note.
• Enhancing BBQ rubs, marinades, grilled vegetables and meat or veggie dishes.
• Flavouring rice dishes, paella, potato dishes and vegan stir-fries.
