La Vera, in Extremadura, with a privileged microclimate is a rich area for the growing of horticultural products. Traditionally known as origin area of the paprika plants that produce the famous “Pimentón de la Vera”.
This “Pimentón” is obtained from wholly ripe peppers carefully selected and subjected to the traditional drying process with the heat produced by a wood burning using oak or holm oak and is characterised by its excellent aroma, flavour and colour´s stability.

Since 1879 and after four generations of paprika´s makers, SANMEL maintain the best family tradition in the production of paprika.
In our new factory of Losar de la Vera we have the latest technology and installations, we joined tradition and modernity in the production of the best paprika: EL REY DE LA VERA.
Our paprika is available in three varieties: Sweet, Traditional and Hot.
