Burlap & Barrel - Szegedi 178 Hot Paprika

Szegedi 178 Hot Paprika Fresh pepper heat and sweetness, the classic Hungarian hot paprika. Burlap & Barrel's Szegedi 178 Hot Paprika is grown on a small regenerative farm in the oldest paprika-growing region of Hungary by their partner farmer, Péter. Szegedi 178 is an heirloom variety of hot pepper that has a beautiful aroma and a long, warm burn. The peppers are picked ripe, air-cured in mesh bags, dehydrated, ground and blended with sweet paprika in small batches.

Burlap & Barrel sources this spice directly from the farmer who grew it, cutting out the middlemen who have controlled the spice trade for 4,000 years. Founded in 2016 by a former Michelin-starred chef (Ethan Frisch) and a serial entrepreneur (Ori Zohar), they pay farmers up to 20 times the commodity rate for spices this fresh and this flavorful. Once you cook with Burlap & Barrel, your supermarket spice cabinet will never look the same.

Pairs with: Eggs, roasted potatoes, grilled meats, stews, or as a finishing sprinkle on hummus.
Perfect for: Paprika lovers, Spanish and Hungarian cooking enthusiasts, and anyone looking for vibrant color and flavor. Products like this are what make The Ambrosian Pantry a destination for home cooks. Find it at 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver, or at theambrosianpantry.com.
