Pimenton de la Vera: a high-quality PDO
Pimenton de la Vera is a mild chili pepper originally from South America, introduced to Spain by Christopher Columbus and cultivated since the 16th century in the Vera region, in the heart of the Gredos mountain range. This region benefits from an exceptional temperate and humid microclimate that guarantees the quality of this exceptional product.
A PDO for guaranteed quality
Pimenton de la Vera benefits from a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), which guarantees the highest quality. The Vera region is located in Extremadura, the land of many conquistadors, including Hernan Cortes who captured the Aztec Empire on behalf of Charles V.
Smoked pimenton: a unique artisanal production
The authentic Pimenton de la Vera comes from a bushy plant that grows up to a meter high, the Capsicum annuum, whose fruits are delicately suspended to dry and then smoked over oak wood for two weeks. Only 12 Pimenton de la Vera factories hold this expertise, guaranteeing an exceptional product.
A traditional chorizo taste and a dark red color
Pimenton de la Vera is highly appreciated for its traditional chorizo taste and its dark red color, which belong to the Spanish traditional repertoire and brighten up family and popular dishes such as paella or tortillas.
