Hungarian Paprika

Description

Hungarian paprika is made from peppers that are harvested and then sorted, toasted, and blended to create different varieties. All Hungarian paprikas have some degree of rich, sweet red pepper flavor, but they range in pungency and heat. In Hungary, it is not uncommon for cooks to have several grades of paprika in the kitchen.

This paprika is a Kulonleges paprika which bears the name Csemege, meaning exquisite delicacy, and is one of the highest grades available. Sweet capsicum peppers, which are like red bell peppers, are dried, ground and sifted through a variety of screens to produce this bright red flavorful powder called paprika. This Hungarian paprika has a sweet taste with a barely perceptible heat that makes it perfect for two classic Hungarian dishes: goulash and chicken paprikash.
