Paprika is far more than a dusting of colour on top of potato salads and devilled eggs. Fresh paprika has the full flavour of the peppers it was ground from. Originating, like all chili peppers, in the Americas, paprika peppers are now strongly associated with Hungarian cuisine. Paprika can range in flavour from mild and sweet to fiery hot, and is used heavily in Eastern European cooking. The Spice House offers five varieties of paprika. Classic Hungarian sweet paprika remains our top seller, and was voted best in the country by Cooks Illustrated. Half-sharp Hungarian has all the rich flavour of the Sweet, with a sharp heat. The beautiful, deep red colour of the California paprika makes it aesthetically pleasing. Recently, Spanish smoked paprika have come into vogue. Their smokey flavour comes from a slow drying process over oak-burning fires. Try any of our freshly ground paprika and discover that paprika flavour can be as interesting and important as its magnificent colour. Manufactured on equipment that processes Peanuts and Sesame Seeds.
