PRODUCTION

The spicy Pimentón de la Vera is a unique and world-famous specialty from the La Vera Valley in the Spanish region of Extremadura. The microclimate in the valley has made the region extremely fertile. In March, the pimentón seeds are sown in greenhouses. In May, they are planted out in the spacious, terraced fields. Here, the plants receive plenty of sunlight. The harvest in October is still traditionally done by hand. Immediately after harvest, the peppers are sorted several times on dry soil, smoked over strong oak smoke and dried. Finally, the smoked pods are ground in mills to a fine, red powder. The seeds and stems of the pods are not processed. The grinding process is repeated up to five times to achieve the high degree of fineness. The protected designation of origin "Denominación de Origen Pimentón de la Vera" guarantees you the best quality.
