Comments from the Great Taste Judges:
"A vibrant and punchy paprika with plenty of attitude! A delicious smoky initial flavour is followed by heat which is warming initially, growing in power and yet always retaining character and clarity. Measured and magnificent in its arc of flavour - it grows and fills the mouth with sweetness, rounded heat and a long, long finish. An excellent ingredient that will add many levels of flavour to cooking and sauces, dips, dressing, mayonnaise and charcuterie. "
