The quintessential Spanish chorizo has a firm texture, a slightly dry quality, and a mildly spicy taste. This authentic dry-cured delicacy contains pork, paprika, salt, and garlic, with no preservatives or artificial colors. It is the real deal, just like the mild version of Chorizo Palacios.

Centuries ago, the people of Spain utilized salt curing to preserve their prized Jamon Iberico, even before the advent of refrigeration. When peppers from the New World arrived, thanks to Christopher Columbus, the Spaniards incorporated them into their culinary arsenal. It was discovered that powdered dried peppers (pimenton) added to fresh pork would retard spoilage, allowing the ground pork to be seasoned and stored indefinitely in the form of chorizo.

Unlike the un-cured Mexican and Caribbean varietals, authentic dry-cured Spanish chorizo is unique in flavor and texture. It can be enjoyed sliced and served cold, or used for cooking in a variety of dishes. This gourmet product is perfect when served alongside some Manchego cheese, topped on some toasted bread, or added to your paella.

We traveled many days in search of the quintessential Chorizo, and this recipe has remained unflinched over the centuries. It is a marriage of two of Spain's great loves: pork and paprika. This 7.9oz (223g) product is made in Spain and is an all-natural delight, with no preservatives or artificial colors.
