History and uniqueness

It is a typically Spanish meat product. This type of meat sausages whose basic ingredients are paprika and garlic are rarely elaborated in other countries. Chorizo is traditionally made from minced meat and fat, mixed with other ingredient and put out in the fresh air, choosing ideal places according to temperature and humidity. During the curing process it is dried and it acquires its firm texture and it also develops its aroma, which results from the aromatic herbs used and the activity of the microbes in the meat.
