What Makes Spanish Smoked Paprika Special?

Unlike regular paprika, Spanish smoked paprika (Pimentón de la Vera) undergoes a traditional smoking process that takes weeks. The peppers are slowly dried over smoldering oak fires, absorbing deep, complex smoke flavor that's impossible to replicate. The result is a spice that adds instant depth and sophistication—like adding a hint of campfire or wood-fired cooking to any dish.
