Discover our range of sweet paprika powder and enjoy its mild taste and delicious fruity notes.

What is sweet paprika?

Sweet paprika powder is a ground spice made from sun-dried red peppers, known for its gentle flavour and rich, ruby-red hue. It offers subtle sweetness and depth, enhancing your dishes.

Our premium-quality paprika powder is sourced exclusively from Hungary's renowned Szeged region, famous for its unique microclimate and rich soil, ideal for cultivating the finest sweet peppers.

These carefully selected peppers are traditionally dried under the blazing summer sun, allowing the sugars to caramelise naturally. This process gives sweet paprika its characteristic flavour. The paprika is finely ground at low temperatures to preserve its complex taste. An organic sweet paprika is also available if you are looking for a certified organic option.

How can I use it?

• Sweet paprika is a staple of Hungarian cuisine and essential for preparing traditional dishes such as goulash, chicken paprikash, and paprika potatoes.
• You can also use it to add warmth to stews, soups, and sauces. It serves as a milder alternative to chilli powder in curries and biryani.
• Dust it over roasted vegetables, especially sweet potato wedges or potato fries, before baking. Additionally, you can add it to paellas for an authentic experience.

For a spicier kick, combine it with hot paprika or blend it with our aromatic smoked paprika for an intense flavour infusion.

Unlike regular paprika, sweet paprika has a milder, more nuanced taste without any bitterness, making it an excellent substitute for Spanish pimentón.

Why choose Hungarian sweet paprika?

We source our Hungarian paprika from the PDO Szeged region, ensuring the entire production process is carried out under controlled conditions for an authentic spice.
