Handcrafted in the revered La Vera region, known for its paprika, La Dalia maintains its century-old legacy of quality and authenticity, marked by its Denominación de Origen Protegida (D.O.P.) certification.
Origins and Authenticity
The La Vera region in Cáceres, Spain, offers an ideal environment with its microclimate and fertile soil for cultivating the specific varieties of red peppers used in this paprika: Ocales, Jaranda, Jariza, Jeromín, and Bola. These peppers are meticulously hand-harvested each autumn, ensuring the perfect ripeness required for the finest ground spice.
The D.O.P. seal assures users of the genuine source and quality, as the peppers are smoked over encina (holm oak) wood, bestowing the paprika its rich, smoky depth that defines its unique flavor. This traditional process is an art form passed down through generations, distinguishing La Dalia’s paprika from less meticulously produced varieties.
From Pepper to Powder
The production of this gourmet staple involves drying the peppers slowly over 15 days, allowing the smoke to infuse deeply into the flesh. The dried peppers are then finely ground using traditional granite millstones, preserving their pungent, sweet aroma and silky texture characteristic of top-tier paprika.
