Vividly red in color, smoked paprika is made from ground Capsicum chili peppers. Although it doesnt pack the punch youd expect from a chili. Instead, it has a delicate aroma and a sweetly smoky flavor. We source our Spice Islands smoked paprika from around the world, looking for chilies with high extractable color (a sign of potent flavor and aroma). Then we slowly smoke it over a wood fire to enhance its natural flavor. Smoked paprika is more intense than other varieties, so use it more sparingly than you would regular paprika.
