Paprika is known for its smoky and slightly bitter flavor, with a spicy kick that ranges from mild to hot. The level of spiciness depends on the type of paprika used, with Hungarian paprika being the spiciest and Spanish paprika being the mildest. The smoky flavor comes from the way the peppers are dried and smoked before being ground into powder. Paprika is commonly used in Hungarian, Spanish, and Moroccan cuisine, and is a key ingredient in dishes such as goulash, paella, and tagines.

Why We Love It: With a combination of four of the hottest hot peppers around in addition to a hefty dose of pure pepper extract, this is our hottest hot sauce to date. Not for the faint of heart, this hardcore chili-head favorite doesn’t just deliver a mind-blowingly hot experience, but it also provides an enjoyable flavor experience (once you regain your sense of taste, that is). Try it in your chili or challenge your friends to try a drop straight-up; either way, we guarantee you’ll enjoy yourself.
If you want to speed up the drying time, use an oven instead. However, this is my least favorite method: ovens aren’t designed for low-temperature drying, which can lead to uneven drying and affect the flavor. Watch the peppers closely for the best outcome.
To give your paprika a smoky twist, you’ll need to smoke the peppers before drying them. Start by setting up your smoker and choosing a flavorful wood, like hickory or oak chips. Spread your sweet or hot paprika in a thin layer on a heat-safe dish or tray. Pop it into the smoker, making sure it’s at a safe distance from the heat source.
