Hungarian Paprika Premium Quality Sweet/Hot/Smoked (Origin: Kalocsa,Hungary) (Sweet & Smoked, 100g)

This is an excellent product. It has bold paprika flavor & just a very slight hint of smokiness. I used this to make blackened fish tacos. It didn't disappoint. A little goes a long way with BIG flavor.

My family members love my paprika chicken, which I have always made using the metal can Kalocsa, Hungary paprika I can find here in the US. But I recently purchased the same brand that comes in a cloth bag from Hungary, through a company in Ireland (I don't get that either). It was worth it. Same brand but this bagged stuff is better than the metal can. Fresher. More flavor. But it is much pricier than the can, plus I have to pay overseas shipping. I will be making paprika chicken several more times this year.

For those who think all paprikas are the same prepare to be pleasantly surprised. Smokey and slightly sweet, it really makes your dishes pop. kicks everything up a notch. So aromatic and beautiful color.

Adds zest to Goulash

I did not think I would ever see this again. This was a mainstay in the kitchen in Europe. Back in the States in the 2000s, I used to be able to get it from a specialty grocery store in my hometown. I don't live there now and I haven't seen this anywhere close to my new home. Once you've had REAL paprika, you'll find reasons and ways to use it, I promise. This has a lovely smokey flavor. A little warmth but mild. I usually keep mild and spicy versions of Hungarian paprika so it's nice to have a smokey version to expand flavor depending on what I'm cooking.I understand, it's not for everyone. I'm surprised to see negative reviews. If it smells off, I'd return it for a replacement as it might simply be old. However, keep in mind it does have a distinct smell and may just need a little trial and error for you to decide how you feel about it.If you're looking for authentic Hungarian paprika (and you should be), this is it. It's what we bought in Hungary and throughout Europe. It's not as good as homemade, but a close second.Oh, one last thing, don't complain that it's not hot and smoked if you bought the wrong version, as one reviewer did.
