What are spanish smoked pepper flakes?
Unlike traditional ground paprika, Olmeda Orígenes’ Smoked Pepper Flakes are carefully crushed into delicate, aromatic flakes. They retain their texture and intensity, meaning they don’t dissolve into food but sit atop your dish, offering a smoky pop in every bite.
This artisanal approach ensures that the flakes retain their structural integrity—they don’t dissolve or disappear into your dish. Instead, they sit visibly atop the food, adding a striking visual appeal and delivering a bold, smoky pop in every bite. Each flake releases a concentrated burst of flavor, offering layers of sweetness, smokiness, and mild heat that unfold gradually on the palate. This makes Olmeda Orígenes’ Smoked Pepper Flakes not just a seasoning, but a finishing touch that enhances both the taste and presentation of your culinary creations.

Olmeda Orígenes offers two varieties:
✅ Sweet Smoked Flakes
✅ Spicy Smoked Flakes
Olmeda pepper flakes are crafted with exceptional care, beginning with hand-picked peppers harvested at peak ripeness to ensure rich flavor and vibrant color. Each pepper is manually selected, with stems and seeds carefully removed to maintain purity. Following tradition, the peppers are slowly dried and smoked over oak wood, infusing them with a deep, natural smokiness that defines their character. Finally, they are gently crushed using artisanal techniques that preserve their bold texture and fiery intensity, resulting in premium flakes that elevate any dish with authentic Spanish flavor.
