and rooted flavour and colour stability, distinguishing it from any other paprika powder.

The Peppers

For the elaboration of our Smoked Pepper PDO La Vera La Chinata ", in any of its 3 varieties

(sweet, sweet and sour or spicy), we chose the best peppers from the La Vera region, obeying a meticulous selection.

The varieties of peppers used are mainly Jaranda, Jariza and Bola.

Drying

The fruits are collected in the fields - mature, healthy and clean - and immediately transported

to the dryers on the farms themselves.

The drying process of the peppers is carried out in a traditional way,

 thanks to the combustion of oak and / or holm oak wood.

This process lasts about 15 days, so that the precious fruits

are dry  and smoked at the sweet spot.

Milling

After a rigorous control process in the reception of the raw material, the grinding process

starts with a first phase of cleaning and crushing the dried peppers.

The peppers already crushed and cleaned are directed to the grinding system,

 composed of 8 (eight) Stone Mills in a row.

These mills work by rubbing two granite stones, through which the crushed pepper

 passes, until the right degree of grinding is obtained.

Once ground, it is kept in excellent condition until it is packaged and sold,

under the control of the PDO "Páprica de La Vera".
