Sweet Hungarian Paprika
One of the most famous of Hungarian paprikas from the town of Szeged. The flavour is mild, incredibly sweet and delicate, more subtle than many Spanish paprika but also with a stunning bright red colour and no hint of the bitterness often tasted in lower quality paprikas. The fine powder is useful in many dishes, but as paprika only releases its flavour and true sweetness on heating, fry gently in oil before adding other ingredients. Be very careful not to brown the spice as it will become bitter!

Delicious and beautiful! It's good to get Hungarian paprika--and I am going to combine this with 5 stars for Dill Seed which I ordered at the same time. I'll just add that both Hungarian paprika and Dill Seed are both a bit elusive for me to find locally, even though here in Glasgow we have brilliant Asian grocieries with thousands of different spices, so I am very grateful to find such a good source. The Spicery have a terrific range and they were very helpful when I had a question by phone. I will definitely choose this supplier for my first search for herbs and spices in future; I am just very happy to have found them.
Great flavour. Made Mushroom Hungarian Soup using this & it tasted amazing. Would highly recommend.
It's brilliant to hear this made a spectacular soup!
Really like to use this in paellas
I use paprika/ pimenton powder frequently but absolutely love the flakes - it has a much cleaner taste to my palate.
Great website and selection. Spices arrived the next day and were lovely.
Always great service from The Spicery. I have been using them for years and always receive great product which is delivered very quickly.
My order arrived incomplete. Received an email 3 days later with an apology and information on the order beeing fulfilled immediately
My Hungarian and very fussy husband says this spice is just like his mums was! High praise indeed.
I have always found your spices nice and fresh and the Urfa pepper is delicious but I was very sad that you discontinued the lovely blends which I used so many of, happily I have eventually after much searching, found another supplier for these.
I've used The Spicery for a couple of years now. Always a fast efficient service and great products.
Good products and fast delivery
Use a lot of this and the flavor it gives is excellent.
I love this as an alternative to powder & has a lovely sweet flavour
The Spicery has a highly informative, efficient website but they also provide a first class delivery service, with good packaging and a welcome free sample in addition to the purchase - a nice touch. The range of products is comprehensive and the website also gives very useful explanations of the spices, their quality and uses. What is most impressive is the inclusion of spices which are very difficult if not impossible to find in the high street or, indeed, in many specialist outlets.
I have been using the Spicery since it was a one man operation many years ago and have never had anything less than first class service. Their products are excellent and the delivery is very fast.
Great service - good website although the range wasn't as great as previously - no Harissa or your great Smokey Chilli Blend
Very fast service, good quality & choice of products
I have always had great success with all the kits I have ordered and quickly realised that all the prep work should be done before starting to cook, otherwise cooking can be quite frenetic. This is a great way to try different foods of the world. As far as the spices are concerned, each one that I have received has been really fresh thus giving me really tasty food.
The best place to get your spices! Wonderful quality and fast shipping.
Always love The Spicery! Revolutionises my cooking!
As usual a very speedy delivery of all the items. A great company to deal with. The products themselves are very good and well packaged.
Good quality and price love it
