Spanish Chorizo and Sausage

About our Spanish Chorizo and Sausages

Deeply flavorful, sausages can transform a simple recipe or snack into a feast. Each slice, bursting with bold, savory flavor. One of the foremost among these Spanish sausages is Chorizo. Spain’s other famous creation: pimentón de La Vera (or smoked paprika), features prominently in Spanish Chorizo. Chorizo has a way of enhancing any recipe. Easy to incorporate, add slices with abandon to everything from sandwiches and omelets to pasta and stews. Its deeply smokey flavor adds layers of complexity to all manner of dishes.

Spanish Chorizo is a cured hard sausage made from roughly chopped pork, garlic, and a generous proportion of the aforementioned spice paprika. Depending on the type of paprika used, the Chorizo can be either sweet or spicy. But in general is always smoked, which gives it a deep and delicious flavor. Because Spanish Chorizo is cured (or aged), it can be eaten without cooking, making it the perfect addition to charcuterie boards, cheese trays, and cold appetizers or tapas. Roughly chopped, it makes a flavorful addition to cooked dishes as well. While sausages range in leanness, it’s usually a safe bet to save the firmer leaner sausages for uncooked uses, while the fattier ones do better when added to a recipe where they’ll be cooked. For both, the casings are edible, eliminating any of that time-consuming prep work. Ranging in size from short to long, there’s no end to the variations of Chorizo, each tantalizingly delicious in its own unique way.
