Galician paprika, made of the famous Padrón peppers. Dried and lightly smoked in traditional dry-house with oak, bay and chestnut firewood for 21 days. Hand-milled and ground in a stone mill.

It is characterized by its excellent aroma of Padrón peppers and its pleasant itching, which surrounds the mouth. Presented in oval tinplate with window, containing a bag of 10g of paprika and dispenser. For presentation in stores there is a decorative sieve with 17 paprika cans.

The Padrón Paprika unfolds its taste best on emblematic galician or spanish dishes such as octopus or fabada. It is the perfect ingredient for sauces, pickles and stir-fry. Padrón Paprika, presented by O Submarino Alta Conserva SL, is the rebirth of a product and a forgotten practice, which has been lost with the passage of time.

Few know that the seeds of the Padrón peppers were brought from Mexico to Galicia at the end of the 16th century by the Franciscan missionaries of the convent of Herbón (village belonging to Padrón) to produce paprika. There is historical evidence of the eighteenth century of the commercialization of this paprika, constituting at this time an important source of income for the convent (General Archive of Simancas, Cadastro de la Ensenada, General Answers, Province of Santiago, Book 253, fol. )
