I notice this product says Hungarian "style" paprika. Does that mean it isn't actually Hungarian paprika?

To anyone that is confused about this--I work for the company that manufactures this product. Back in 2014 management did add the word 'style' to the packaging because they decided not to source the paprika from Hungary due to the high cost. However, we realized many of our life-long customers were upset by this so this year we have launched a refresh of this brand under 'Pride Of Spice Trading Company'. The new items include the highest-quality authentic Hungarian paprika sourced 100% from Hungary. In addition we have extended the line to include other high-quality spices sourced from the very best places around the world like our authentic Pride Of Asia Vietnamese Saigon Cinnamon and or Pride Of India Malabar Black Pepper. You can find these items by clicking 'visit the spice chain store' at the top of this page (directly under the item name) or searching for Pride Of Szeged on Amazon. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Enjoy!

Is this still geniune Hungarian Paprika?The reason I ask is because packaging says "Hungarian Style", where as previously it did not.

Hi, thank you for your question. I work for the company that manufacturers this product and this item is not actually true Hungarian paprika. However, after realizing how many consumers wanted the high-quality authentic Hungarian sweet and hot paprika, we decided to develop a new line of spices that are only the highest quality, authentic spices sourced from the best places around the world--Pride Of Spice Trading Company. This line includes 100% authentic sweet and hot Hungarian Szeged paprika. You can see these items by clicking 'Visit the Spice Chain Store' at the top of this page directly under the item description. To give you a little more background, the Pride Of Szeged brand has been around for over 50 years and used to be authentic Hungarian paprika. However, the company was purchased years ago and management decided to stop sourcing true Hungarian paprika because the price had gotten so high. However, after realizing how many customers wanted the true Hungarian paprika, we wanted to go back to our roots and offer it again. We had to work very hard to source it because it is very difficult to export to the US and as a result, we're one of the only companies offering 100% authentic Hungarian paprika. The flavor is far better! Hope this was helpful! If you have any other questions feel free to go to our website or reach out.

What spices are in the product?

For anyone interested, the ingredients have changed: "Salt, sugar, dehydrated onion, orange juice powder, lemon peel, orange peel, lemon juice powder, spices (including paprika and celery seed), tarragon, cilantro, liquid smoke, soybean oil, less than 2% of calcium stearate and silicon dioxide added to prevent caking." Obviously this product is not the same as it was 4-5 years ago when other answers about ingredients were written.
