About Sifón de las Monjas

Home-grown Paprika de la Vera, made by hand, being faithful to tradition and using techniques transmitted from generation to generation. A unique paprika. The production of Sifón de las Monjas is full cycle. Our team is present at all stages of production. From the selection of the seeds to the grinding of the pepper, through the harvesting and drying it in the smoke of the pepper. We produce our products on our farm in the region of La Vera, in the province of Cáceres, Spain. These are some of the artisanal procedures that make us unique: • Limited production. Our paprika comes exclusively from the peppers harvested on our farm • Manual collection. We only select the peppers that, one by one, have reached their optimal degree of maturity. • Smoked with oak wood. Our paprika takes on its characteristic smoky aroma during the drying process, which takes place in our stone dryers heated with an oak wood fire. • Stone-ground. We grind our peppers in centuries-old stone mills, respecting milling techniques used for generations. We only use the skin of the pepper to make our paprika. The sum of these processes makes our paprika a unique product, with an intense color and a uniform texture, stable over time and with a penetrating and balanced aroma of oak wood.Read their story
