Chilli fórum

Hello together,

im sorry but i can not speach czech, i hope that is ok.

Im Johannes and a Chilihead from Germany.

Im looking for a special czech paprika/pepper for a friend of mine.
My friend lived in tschechoslovakia in sowjet times and this pepper was very common and widely used. He doesnt know if this pepper is also common today.

Chaaracteristics of the pepper:

- Size ca. as a fist
- wrinkled and possible more round than elongated
- no- or nearly no heat
- thin flesh and wall

This pepper is harvested green and have normally some parts that begin to get red or yellow.

It is normally used too cook and gets a very nice texture by this (soft skin and flesh).


It would be very nice, if somebody could tell me what pepper that is.

It can be many species.

According to your charakteristics of the pepper, you are probably looking for some kind of Almapaprika

or pritamin type of pepper

But these kinds of peppers are usually from Hungary, not from Czech or Slovakia.

I presume that JurassicChilli answer is the right one. Pritamin type. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUpCkuuqdr8 (hungarian language, but clearly visible shape and thickness of wall)

Thank you very much guys .

Im not sure if the pepper is among the peppers you posted, because he descriebed it as very wrinkled.

I will show him the pictures and hope he will find the one pepper he is searching for .

I remember only one pepper with some heat from the communist times - PCR paprika. But it's definitely not wrinkled.
