Kalocsa and Soit, Hungary

**Must purchase!!! The rose paprika of Hungary is generally considered the finest variety. It is made from choice dark red pods that have a sweet flavour and aroma. A sharper Hungarian variety, Koenigspaprika, or king’s paprika, is made from the whole pepper.

Kalocsa is as celebrated for its paprika and folk art as for its long and rich history. The brilliantly flowered folk art originating here – embroidery, painting and pottery – is recognized all over the country.
