EHL Ingredients, a leading supplier of food ingredients, has launched Organic Smoked Spanish Paprika - a new organic ingredient, in the UK.
Organic Smoked Spanish Paprika is a fine red powder with a pleasant smokey aroma. The product's flavor can be attributed to the way peppers are grown and dried in Spain, the company said.
Each pepper is set over oak logs and turned by hand until it is dried, resulting in a balanced aroma and flavor that adds color and complexity to many Spanish dishes
The new product offers a smokey-sweet and mild spicy flavor, making it ideal for recreating authentic Mediterranean meat, fish, seafood and vegetable dishes. Food manufacturers, chefs and caterers can also add this product to organic paellas, tapas dishes as well as stews, soups, sauces, salad dressings, marinades and salsas.
Organic Smoked Spanish Paprika comes in 25kgs bags with smaller quantities available, depending on requirements. It is available to food manufacturers, wholesalers, cash and carries, bottling and food packing companies, chefs and caterers, as well as to organic food box schemes and online retailers. The product is available now via wholesalers across the country.
EHL Ingredients sales director Tasneem Backhouse said that Tapas is becoming one of the fastest growing cuisines in Britain both within in-home dining and eating out.
"Capitalising on this trend, many supermarkets have launched their own ranges of Spanish-inspired ready meals and prepared tapas."
"The rise in popularity of Spanish food has been greatly helped by consumers' adventurous palates and preferences for stronger flavours and our new Organic Smoked Spanish Paprika will help food manufacturers and chefs to recreate authentic Spanish-style dishes and ready meals," Backhouse added.
