This spice has been thoroughly incorporated into Hungarian culture. There are eight paprika flavor and appearance profiles in Hungary; they range from különleges, sweet and mild, and a brilliant red, to erős, which is spicy and a dusky orange-brown color that can be as hot as the hottest jalapeno. Paprika marketed in the US as Hungarian Sweet Paprika is usually classified as édesnemes paprika; fiery red, but with a mellow flavor and just a touch of pungency.
