Ray’s Paprika in The New York Times

Florence Fabricant recommends Ray’s paprika in Paprika Straight From the Farm, published October 27, 2009 in The New York Times:

…there is no fresher paprika than what Ray Bradley makes from the pimentón peppers he grows in New Paltz, N.Y. He does not smoke it the way they do in Spain, so his brushes the palate with sweet, vegetal flavor that harbors a nice, final kick. It’s coarsely ground and sold in small amounts that you will use up before it can fade.
