Spanish Chorizo is a dry-aged sausage made from coarsely chopped pork, seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic and salt.  It is typically ready-to-eat and has a smoky, savory flavor with a firm texture, making it sliceable.  

Unlike Mexican chorizo, which is fresh and uncured, Spanish Chorizo is fermented, smoked and aged for weeks, resulting in its distinct taste.

Cheese Pairings
  • Manchego:  A sharp, nutty Spanish cheese that enhances the smoky flavors of chorizo.
  • Queso fresco or goat cheese:  Softer cheeses that mellow the spice while adding creaminess.
  • Cheddar, Mozzarella or Parmesan:  Great for melting in casseroles, quesadillar or baked dishes.
Grains and Starches
  • Rice dishes:  Chorizo shines in paella, chorizo rice or jambalaya, where its smoky character infuses the grains.
  • Pasta:  Tomato-based or creamy sauces with penne, macaroni or spaghetti pair wonderfully with sliced or crumbled chorizo.
  • Bread and Tortillas:  Serve chorizo on crusty bread, in empanadas or wrapped in tortillas for tacos and breakfast burittos.
  • Legumes:  White beans, chickpeas or lentils absorb chorizo flavors, ideal for heary stews or warm salads.
Herbs, Spices and Condiments
  • Smoked paprika and garlic:  Enhances chorizo’s natural smoky flavor.
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro:  Brightens and balances richness; cilantro works well with Mexican-inspired dishes.
  • Citrus:  Lemon or lime zest cuts grease and adds freshness
  • Chimichurri or salsa verde:  Offers acidity and herbal contrast for grilled chorizo.
Beverages
  • Red wine or Sangria:  Fruity acidity complements chorizo’s richness
  • Light beers, lagers or IPAs:  Balance spice without overpowering the dish.
  • Non-alcoholic:  Sparkling water with citrus or fresh juices provides a refreshingly zesty conterpoint.
