The origin of this product is to be found in Yuste Monastery, where the monks have grown peppers since the 16th century. Today, this local variety of peppers is still being cultivated in the area of La Vera and the paprika production process remains the traditional method of drying them over oak or holm oak wood smoke. The result is a condiment with a sweet and smooth flavour and a slightly smoky aroma, which gives an original touch to any dish. You only need to add a teaspoon of this paprika to any meat or pasta dishes.
