Made in Hungary and recognized across Europe, Univer’s Piros Arany ("Red Gold") paste has a long tradition of adding rich color and a sweet pepper aroma to dishes. Packaged in a convenient 160 g jar, this mild paprika paste is concentrated and versatile: use it as a base for stews, a finishing spread for breads, or a flavor booster for sauces.

What does Piros Arany taste like and how spicy is it?

Piros Arany is known for a pronounced sweet-pepper aroma and deep red color while remaining mild in heat. It enhances savory dishes with peppery sweetness and visual appeal without adding strong spiciness, making it approachable for most palates.

• Mild heat level labeled Csemege (gentle, pleasant)
• Sweet and aromatic red pepper flavor, not smoked
• Concentrated paste for measured use—small amounts go far
• Deep red color that enriches sauces and presentations

How can I use this paprika paste in everyday cooking?

Univer Piros Arany is a multifunctional ingredient that saves time and layers in authentic paprika flavor quickly. Stir a spoonful into soups and goulash, spread it on sandwiches, or blend into marinades and dressings for instant color and taste.

• Add to stews, soups, or casseroles for base flavor
• Spread thinly on bread or open-faced sandwiches
• Mix with oil or yogurt to make quick sauces and dips

How should I store and measure the paste for best results?

Because the paste is concentrated, measuring matters: start small and adjust. Keep the jar refrigerated after opening and use a clean spoon to maintain freshness and avoid contamination.

• Start with 1 teaspoon, increase to taste
• Refrigerate after opening and use within a few weeks for best aroma
• Seal lid tightly to preserve color and fragrance
• Use a dry utensil to scoop to prevent spoilage
