California Paprika

California paprika has a deep red color and a bittersweet pepper flavor with light savory notes. It is darker and fuller in flavor than standard grocery-store paprika, with a gentle warmth rather than sharp heat. The powder blends smoothly into rubs, sauces, and chili, adding both color and flavor. It is especially useful when you want a rich red finish without smokiness.
