Smoked paprika hails from Spain, which is why you’ll also sometimes see it listed as Spanish paprika or Pimentón de la Vera, which translates to paprika of the La Vera.

Description
The main difference between paprika and smoked paprika is that smoked paprika is made from dried red peppers that are smoked over an oak fire before they’re ground instead.
This lends a strong smoky flavor to smoked paprika that isn’t present in paprika.
Smoked paprika (unsurprisingly) adds a smoky, woodsy flavor to food without having to smoke the food itself.
It’s also earthy and just a tiny bit fruity and bright.
Smoked paprika works great in marinades, as a dry rub & in sauces. It’s also a great way to lend smoky, almost meaty flavor to meatless dishes.
