Smoked sweet paprika powder, hot-smoked, red

Product description

Discover paprika as a finely ground, bright red powder that is hot-smoked over oak wood in Spain. The result is a sweet, smoked paprika with a homogeneous, fine grind for hearty cooking.

Several days of smoking concentrate the aroma while significantly reducing the weight of the pods. The powder remains free-flowing, easy to dose and is ideal for foodservice, food production and high-volume users supplied by Biova.

With this hot-smoked paprika powder you add a distinctive smoky note to dishes without using a grill or smoker. Use it to season meat, vegetables, stews or plant-based alternatives and create targeted bursts of flavour and intense colour with paprika.

Origin

This paprika spice comes from Spain, where warm, sunny conditions allow the pods to ripen fully. Only fully ripe, red fruits with intense colour and a harmonious aroma from specialised Biova partner producers are processed.

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, gently dry them and grind them into a fine powder in bulk quality.

Key features

What makes this product special is the combination of sweet paprika and an intense smoky flavour. Hot smoking over oak wood gives the spice a deep, warm aroma 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 aroma of smoked paprika can vary. For this Biova product, only batches with an intense red colour and a well-balanced ratio of sweetness to smoke are selected to ensure consistent quality for bulk users.

Taste & aroma

The paprika powder has a clearly smoky scent with warm, woody notes and a fruity paprika component. On the palate it shows a sweet base note without heat, accompanied by a robust smoky flavour that gives many dishes depth and a characteristic BBQ profile.

Suggested uses

• Seasoning meat dishes, grilled foods and BBQ marinades for an intense smoky note.
• Enhancing soups, stews, goulash and paella with colour and flavour.
• Use in vegetarian and vegan dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice and potato dishes for authentic smoky aromas.
