Finca La Barca Hot Smoked Paprika comes in a square white tin with a hinged lid. The front reads Pimentón de La Vera, Denominación de Origen Protegida, with Finca La Barca in black capitals, Pimentón Ahumado and Smoked Paprika Powder, and three red chillies. A round red seal sits in the corner, and the base of the label reads Picante 70 g, Hot 2.47 oz. The side panel states 100% smoked paprika and gluten free, with the advice to keep in a cool, dry place out of direct light. As general background, paprika is a spice made from dried and ground red peppers of the species Capsicum annuum; hotter paprika keeps some seeds and stalks in the peppers used. Commonly, Spanish kitchens use smoked paprika in paella, patatas bravas, stews, rubs for chicken and fish, and to finish hummus and roast vegetables. Lifestyle photos show paprika-rubbed chicken legs and a skillet of roast peppers and courgettes.
