Slovak Paprika

Slovak paprika is ground or whole paprika grown and processed in Slovakia, particularly in the southern regions of the country. It is made from red peppers of various varieties, dried and milled, resulting in an aromatic red spice with a mild to medium-hot flavour. It is widely used in Slovak cuisine to season stews, sauces, soups, meat dishes and marinated cheeses. Slovak paprika is valued for its fresh flavour and deep colour, which lend dishes a typical Central European character. It is available in sweet, semi-sweet and hot varieties.
