Harvesting

Organic smoked paprika is made from ripe red bell peppers, harvested at their peak in late summer or early autumn. The peppers are dried and gently smoked over oak fires, a traditional method that creates its distinct smoky, earthy flavour. This process not only enhances the peppers’ natural sweetness but also gives them their signature deep red colour and rich aroma, setting smoked paprika apart from milder varieties.

As a natural seasoning, organic smoked paprika is a great source of vitamins A and E and contains antioxidants that support overall health. Free from synthetic pesticides and fertilisers, it’s a wholesome choice for enhancing your cooking. Whether sprinkled over roasted vegetables, stirred into stews, or used to season potatoes, its bold flavour and vibrant hue bring warmth and depth to any dish.

The organic nature of Organic Smoked Paprika means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Smoked Paprika in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Smoked Paprika

Organic Smoked Paprika has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when it was first introduced to Spain by explorers returning from the Americas. The vibrant red spice, made from dried and smoked red peppers, quickly became a staple in Spanish cuisine and eventually spread throughout Europe. Its deep, smoky flavour and vibrant colour have made it a beloved ingredient in dishes such as paella, chorizo, and various stews. In recent years, the organic movement has revived the popularity of this traditional spice, as more consumers seek high-quality, natural products with authentic heritage and exceptional flavour.
