Its specialty: pimentón de La Vera, protected by a Protected Designation of Origin — the Spanish equivalent of a grand cru. The red peppers are harvested at maturity, hand-split, then slowly dried over an oak wood fire for fifteen days. This drying is what distinguishes pimentón de La Vera from all other paprikas: the smoky aroma is not an artifice, it is traditional and natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Finca La Barca — Tajo Valley, Extremadura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesignation: AOP Pimentón de La Vera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariant: Mild (dulce) — no piquancy, pure smoky aroma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrying: oak wood fire, 15 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: fine, ready to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 70 g metal tin, opaque, tight aroma protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: dry, away from light (12 months)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark, intense red robe, almost garnet.

Without it, no paella, no chorizo, no pulpo a la gallega. Finca La Barca is one of the producers that fully respects the AOP method: long drying over oak fire, fine grinding, metal-tin conditioning to preserve the aroma. At 4.90 CHF for a 70 g tin, it is the spice every serious Spanish-cooking pantry must have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Finca La Barca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57980319596931,"sku":"FLB-PIMENTON-DOUX-70G","price":4.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/6296\/8195\/files\/10271d2bc0e277d02e486ec7630c47a4.png?v=1778225104","url":"https:\/\/origenes.shop\/en\/products\/pimenton-doux-fume-de-la-vera-en-boite-de-70-g","provider":"Orígenes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
