La Chinata Pimentón de la Vera

La Chinata is a globally recognized brand specializing in Pimentón de la Vera, a smoked paprika produced in the Extremadura region of Spain. The product is manufactured in Spain, specifically in the province of Cáceres, adhering to the Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P.) standards. This ensures that the peppers are dried over oak wood smoke, giving the spice its characteristic flavor profile.

The brand has remained a family-owned enterprise since its founding in 1975 by Florentino Oliva. Today, it is managed by the Oliva Family under the company name NETASA (Norte Extremeña de Transformados Agrícolas S.A.), maintaining its headquarters and production facilities in Plasencia, Spain. The company prides itself on a traditional process that has been passed down through generations to ensure the highest quality of smoked paprika.
