Description
Freshness is key to the flavor profile of Las Hermanas Pimentòn, made by third-generation family-run company Hijos de Salvador López. The peppers (all from local farmers in La Vera with a longstanding relationship to the company) are smoked immediately upon picking over indirect-heat oak fires for 10-15 days, and finished over a slightly warmer fire for three additional days. This process takes the ripe peppers to a low percentage of moisture, preserving flavor and color and imbuing them with the classic DOP smokiness. The dried peppers are then ground into a vibrant crimson powder.
