The peppers we use to manufacture La Chinata smoked paprika powder are sourced from local farmers who treasure generations of experience. The fruit is ripe, healthy and clean at the time of harvesting in the months of October and November. The collection process is conducted by hand given the great care that this task requires.
The peppers are taken immediately to the drying racks on the farmer’s very premises. The drying process is completely artisanal, carried out by burning Holm oak and oak timber. After approximately 10 days drying, the peppers are sent to our facilities.
The industrial process involved in manufacturing our smoked paprika powder begins by cleaning and grinding the peppers. They are then sent to our milling system where 8 mills grind the peppers using the friction between two granite stones. The ground peppers go through the stones until the dust reaches the correct degree of refinement.
Once this process has concluded, and after cooling, the smoked paprika powder is moved to our cold storage facilities for its perfect conservation. This allows our product, once packaged, to reach our customers with all of its sensory qualities unaltered.
This entire process takes place under the strictest quality and safety control since our company complies with international certificates ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 among others.
La Chinata Smoked Paprika Powder is available in numerous packages, from 70 gr tins, ideal for household use, to 5 and 25 Kg bags for industrial use.
