Product Description
Pimenton smoked paprika is an essential ingredient for authentic tasting paella. But more than that, you will find this smoked paprika is excellent for general cooking at home. It may be used as a flavoring for potatoes and fish dishes, light stews, sauces, garlic chicken and roasted meats. Each type has a subtly different flavor: sweet, bittersweet, and picante - spicy. If you like to be creative with your cooking, you will find distinct uses for each of the three. Please do not confuse this paprika with the bland paprika you get at the local supermarket -- or even with the traditional Hungarian paprika. Smoked Paprika has a much deeper flavor and is decidedly smoky.The peppers used to produce all three varieties of Pimenton de la Vera are meticulously hand-harvested in early October and sent to warehouses where they are slow-smoked for fifteen days. The whole peppers become saturated with the smoke of smoldering oak logs, adding intense flavor while preserving their natural blood-red color. After being stone-ground into a velvety powder, the pimenton is shipped directly from the La Vera valley to La Tienda to ensure freshness.

 La Tienda Review July 14, 2010
Jeff Fountain (Oro Valley, az, US)
I liked getting the 3 styles (Hot, sweet, biter/sweet)at once. If I use one more than the others, I will reorder individually. These really add a noticeable zip to the recipe, which I like. I have standard paprika for other subtle uses... I've used other smoked paprika and La Tienda is every bit as good. Expensive? yes; so if you're a canned spaghetti-o eater - save the extra $3/can, otherwise try some of this in your next baby-back rib rub!

I use the La Tienda Smoked Paprikas to make grilling rubs and marinades and they are great. With the selection, you can add just the right amount of heat and smoky flavor to meats.

La Chinata brand is DOG (guaranteed origin of denomination) from the La Vera region of Spain. This is the real one that is smoked over real oak for almost two weeks and ground to a silky powder (think cocoa) rather that the gritty stuff produced here in the U.S. Rather than just for garnish (which I do as well), it's a powerbomb of aroma and flavor.
All you need to do to understand the flavor profile is to start by making a compound with hot butter or some mayonnaise, and taste it. Before you know it, it starts going on roast chicken, scampi, all chops, rice and noodle dishes, chicken and egg salads, infused oils and sauces. It adds gorgeous color to everything you put it in. Every review here so far is five stars. Try it now!
A must-have May 25, 2009

This is a necessity for paella and even other Latina or southwest cooking. You cannot get the same taste from the regular Hungarian sweet or hot paprika. There is a backnote of smokiness that you cannot deny. As others have mentioned, this is a very multi-functional seasoning, you cannot go wrong; and with all three flavors (sweet, hot and bittersweet), you've got ALL your bases covered. I purchase this item many times not only for myself but for others who are always happy to receive it b/c it is not readily found in markets.
Great product! April 24, 2009

The taste on this smoked paprika is divine, and the variety of the three-pack makes it a great deal. Dealing with La Tienda (via amazon) was a great as well--shipping was VERY prompt, and I received my package via next-day post at no additional charge. I would recommend La Tienda to anyone looking to cook up some authentic Spanish cuisine.
