Spanish paprika, or pimentón, is milder and sweeter than Hungarian varieties, sometimes owing its distinctive flavor to being dried via the smoke of oak timber.

In addition to use as a spice to season stews, soups, rice, eggs, sausage and other meats, Spanish paprika is sometimes mixed with a small amount of olive oil and served as a condiment.
