How is south african paprika different from Hungarian paprika?

Question

I am planning to make a spice blend, and the recipe I am using calls for south african paprika. Stores near me only have Hungarian paprika. How different are the flavors between these two varieties of paprika?

Answer 1

The variety of the original pepper might be slightly different giving out different result when dried and ground up.

There might be a difference in spiciness. There might be a difference in smokiness (if the paprika is smoked).

Hard to tell.

Just try it and report back.
