Pimenton del Paraiso - Paprika from Paradise
Paprika as it should be. Full aroma, deep colour, and flavour shaped by sun, soil, and time.
Paprika is one of the most widely used spices in the world, woven into everyday cooking across cultures and continents. At Pimentón del Paraíso, we focus on doing it properly — carefully selected peppers, traditional methods, and a respect for the ingredient itself. With four distinct paprika styles, there is a tin for every dish and every mood.

Sweet Paprika – 160 ASTA - Bright, rounded, and naturally sweet.
ASTA is the international measure of paprika colour and intensity — the higher the number, the deeper the red and the fuller the flavour. At 160 ASTA, this sweet paprika delivers exceptional vibrancy, gentle warmth, and soft earthy notes.
It lifts cold dishes beautifully and blooms with warmth when cooked, bringing colour and balance without heat.
Oak Smoked Paprika - Slow-smoked depth, rooted in tradition.
Smoking is one of the oldest ways humans have prepared food. Today, it’s not always practical — but the flavour remains irresistible. Our oak smoked paprika begins with sweet paprika pods, slowly smoked over oak for three days.
The result is a balanced, confident smokiness that enhances a dish rather than overpowering it — rich, savoury, and deeply comforting.
Hot Paprika - Sweetness, with a gentle kick.
Our hot paprika starts with the same sweet paprika base with a strain that also develops a little chilli heat. This approach keeps the natural paprika flavour centre stage, rather than masking it with chilli.
The result is a warm, slightly earthy sweetness followed by a clean, lingering heat — perfect for everyday cooking when you want a little fire without losing flavour.
Hot Oak Smoked Paprika -The full expression. Sweet paprika. Oak smoke. A chilli kick.
This is the complete experience — layered, bold, and deeply satisfying.
Hot Oak Smoked Paprika brings together every element of the range in one tin, delivering warmth, smoke, and heat in perfect balance. Ideal for slow cooking, grilling, and dishes that deserve depth.
The Tins
Each paprika is packed in a 180 g net weight tin, sealed with a ring-pull lid and finished with a reusable cap for freshness, ease of use, and everyday storage.
All paprikas are produced in Spain and packed in the UK.

Paprika Tins - Quick Reference
- What is it? A collection of paprika styles packed in tins, covering sweet, smoked and hot expressions for different dishes.

- How to use Choose the tin according to whether the dish needs sweetness, smoke, heat, or a combination, and avoid scorching paprika in very hot oil.
- Compare with A range page rather than a single paprika, allowing the styles to be selected side by side.
- Possible substitute Where one style is unavailable, blend sweet paprika with smoked paprika or cayenne to approximate the required balance.
- Storage Keep each tin closed, cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and cooking steam.
Good to know: Paprika is shaped by pepper variety, colour intensity, heat and smoking method, so the tins are not interchangeable even though they share the same spice family.

Paprika Tins
Great having the option of Sweet and Smoky paprika which individually taste great but create a unique blend when mixed together. Tins are also quite useful.
