Pick Salami and Paprika Museum
Pick Szalámi és Szegedi Paprika Múzeum
A factory museum for Pick, Hungary's treasured salami brand, explaining the making of winter salami and Szeged's red paprika.
The Pick company was founded in Szeged in 1869, and its winter salami (téliszalámi) is a national treasure of Hungarian food. The museum sits beside the Pick factory on the banks of the Tisza. Across two floors it displays the salami-making process, from slaughter and air-drying to smoking, along with the brand's history and the cultivation, grinding and varieties of Szeged red paprika. You can taste salami after your visit, and the neighbouring shop sells gifts. It is closed on Mondays and Sundays, and admission is about 2,000 forints.
