What We tell customers about Hungarian Paprika

When people ask how our paprikas differ, here's what we tell them. Our Hungarian paprika is all flavor and color with no heat, and no smoke either. It's the one you want to use when you need a sweet paprika.

Spanish Smoked paprika is dried over oak fires for that deep wood-smoke flavor. Our Spanish Sweet paprika is in the middle. It is sweet and mildly smokey - the best of both worlds.

Customers also ask how the Hungarian paprika compares to our Spanish sweet: the Hungarian leans sweeter and richer in pepper flavor, while the Spanish carries a lightly smokier character Spanish paprika is known for.

Pick the one that most suits the dishes you're going make.

  • What to use it on

    Stir it into sour cream or yogurt with a little garlic for an instant dipping sauce for vegetables or bread.

    Rub it generously onto chicken thighs with olive oil and salt before roasting.

    Dust it over deviled eggs or a bowl of hummus for color and flavor.

    Add a tablespoon to your next pot of chili or soup and notice how it deepens everything underneath it, or sprinkle a little over scrambled eggs or popcorn for an easy everyday upgrade.

  • How the pros use it

    Bloom it in warm butter or olive oil for about 30 seconds before adding the rest of your ingredients. This deepens the sweet pepper flavor and gives soups, stews, and sauces a richer color. Just don't let it brown, or it can turn bitter.

  • What to pair it with

    Tellicherry Peppercorn Whole Organic

    Freshly cracked Tellicherry pepper adds a bold finish that complements the sweet richness of Hungarian paprika in chicken, roasted vegetables, soups, and hearty stews.

    Garlic Powder Organic

    Garlic and sweet paprika are the foundation of countless soups, stews, roasted vegetables, and chicken dishes, creating rich savory flavor without adding heat.
