    This Smoked Paprika is from the La Vera region of Spain. These sweet Paprikas are naturally wood-smoked before grinding, giving them a delicious, robust aroma and flavour. Use Smoked paprika in small quantities to give added depth of flavour to stews and casseroles. Add to pasta dishes and pizza.

• Garlic Flakes

  • Just like using sliced cloves of garlic in slow cooking.
    Other Common Names: Clown's Treacle, Poor Man's Treacle. Botanical Name: (Allium sativum)
    Description & Use: The part of garlic which we refer to as a clove is actually one of many bulblets, each with a papery casing and compacted into a larger corm or bulb. The history of garlic goes back to before Egyptian times, and it is a herb which has always been valued for both its culinary qualities and medicinal attributes. Garlic is available in these large slices, also small minced pieces, and as a powder. Pieces of large garlic flakes are delicious in curries and casseroles. Minced garlic and garlic powder are ideal in dishes that will not be cooked for long, including garlic and herb breads. Use sparingly as dried garlic is surprisingly potent when compared to fresh.

• Chilli Powder Medium

  • A medium heat chilli powder for general use.
    Other Common Names: Aji, Red Pepper. Botanical Name: (Capsicum annuum).
    Description & Use: There are literally hundreds of different chillies, all of which descend from the original ones discovered by the Spanish when they found the Americas. Prior to this chillies were unknown to the rest of the world. The warming bite and delicious capsicum taste of chilli was warmly embraced by nearly every nation on earth, thus we find some form of capsicum or chilli in nearly every cuisine. Dried chillies have a very different flavour to fresh ones, as upon drying a caramelization of the sugars takes place which creates a delicious, robust taste not found in fresh chillies, in the same way a sun-dried tomato has a more complex flavour profile than a fresh one.
