Black pepper

The paprika is the bright red powder made from sweet and hot dried peppers. Their taste is much milder than that of cayenne pepper, with characteristic sweetness, and it is one of the most favorite ingredients of the European cuisine. Of Hungarian or Spanish origin, hot or sweet, smoked or not, this powder with the bright red-rust color gives a special taste to the dishes where it is added.

• Typically, just labeled as paprika, this spice adds vibrant color to any dish. It can be sprinkled as a garnish over deviled eggs or potato salad, or used as a flavoring for meat rubs. It has a sweet pepper flavor, without any heat. If a recipe doesn't specify the type of paprika, we recommend using this kind.
• Experiment with the different varieties, using smoked paprika to add rich smoky flavor or hot paprika to surprise the palate and enhance your gustatory imagination. Use it to give spicy depth to the dishes with lamb, chicken and fish or try sprinkling a pinch of paprika over the yolk of a fried egg or a creamy omelet.
