Production and Processing
- Sowing
After soil preparation, the seeds of their spice paprika are placed in the soil by precision sowing in mid-March. In a smaller area they plant in May, after the frosts have passed, where they usually experiment with new varieties before sowing on a large area.
- Cultivation, harvesting
After sowing, the cultivation of emerged paprika begins with hoeing, and then watered alternately. For watering water-intensive paprika, they use the nutrient-rich living water of the Danube. Harvesting is carried out excusively by manual work in September, and only the first picking is processed.
- Post-maturation
Post-maturation is essential to achieve high quality and taste. Raw paprika is ripened in sachets for about 4-6 weeks, during which the paprika desiccates and, under the influance of sunlight, reaches its deep red colour and excellent aroma.
- Sorting
After desiccation, they sort out the damaged pieces and remove the stems of the paprika, so that only the excellent quality of paprika is placed in the dryer. Selection is done entirely by hand.
- Drying
This is the key to the production of spiece paprika. It is of the utmost importance to reduce the moisture content of the paprika by slow drying at low temperatures. With wood-fired, gentle drying, they ensure that their paprika absorbs valuable oils and nutrients as much as possible.
- Grinding
Dried semi-product is stored hermetically and freshly ground during the year according to demand. For their products they use a mixture of different varieties of paprika, in addition to which they use different technology and grinding delicacy.
- Packaging
Their aroma-tight, resealable stand up pouches ensure the freshness of their products. When designing packaging, they aimed to preserve traditional values, but still to look modern. Their spice paprika is distributed in both retail and wholesales packages and quantities.
