High-quality smoked paprika. Smoked paprika gives a slightly smoky and earthy flavor to casseroles, soups, marinades, and meat dishes. Smoked paprika powder is common in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, for example in chorizo. Smoked paprika is also a common ingredient in Hungarian goulash. Santa Maria smoked paprika has gained its distinctive flavor from smoke-drying over an open fire. Smoked paprika powder should be stored in a dry and light-protected place to preserve its aroma for longer.
