Is Smoked Paprika The Same As Sweet Smoked Paprika?

[diond]

I've scoured the web and can't find a definitive answer to this question - so I thought I'd ask you lot!!

I already buy the supermarket's own smoked paprika, but I have seen a sweet smoked paprika doing the rounds on various cookery shows for a while now. It comes in a corned beef type tin, but I can't tell if they are one of the same? There is certainly a difference in price, but that could be down to branding.

I have read that sweet smoked paprika is named as such to differentiate between that and hot smoked paprika?

Cheers.

What you have read is right, hot smoked paprika is spicier and sweet smoked paprika is less spicy

I think they are essentially the same but the sweet smoked is defined as such because you can get spicy hot versions in a tin too.

I might be wrong but maybe the ones in tin form are better quality? More authentic or summink, Spanish rathen than say Hungarian?

I dunno

You get both types in Spain, agridulce and picante - bittersweet and spicy. I don't knw about Hungarian stuff

There is sweet smoked paprika and hot smoked paprika and as the different names suggest they are different things

I have three types of smoked paprika - dulce (sweet), agridulce (semi-sweet) and piccante (hot). Your recipe will usually specify which one you want.

Not heard of this agridulce, where'd you get it?

Not sure - either a deli or actually in Spain. It's in one of those cute square tins.

The one I have seems to be neither sweet nor hot.

The flavours are all different from very mild to hot. They are very common here, apart from our local Carrefour which doesn't sell smoked. I like the hot smoked in patatas bravas for the bite. It is not popular here though. Apparently it's too hot.

Yea. Two different types. Both covered here...
