Chorizo Thins (6 x 30g packs)

Our Authentic Spanish chorizo is sourced from a family producer in La Rioja. They have been making chorizo as a family since the 1950s.

The chorizo is particular to the region of Rioja, and is made up of five natural ingredients: Pork shoulder, pork belly, salt, Paprika de la Vera and garlic. The chorizo is hung and cured for thirty days and gently smoked over Holm Oak.

Made to a traditional recipe, from exceptional ingredients and in exceptional conditions no nitrates, nitrites or other preservatives are used other than salt, time and smoke (the last two helping to reduce the water content).

Chorizo like many of the smoked, salted, potted and cured meats we love today, Chorizo was born out of survival. Simple ingredients and simple methods to ensure we as humans made it through the winter months - it's no wonder that we love thes eflavours today, thos who loved those flavousr survived.

I'm passionate to ensure that we only ever use chorizo that is made to the traditional methods, ingredients and methods - it's proper authentic Spanish Chorizo that we use.

The distinctive flavour of chorizo comes from its preparation and it's distinctive flavouring; Paprika de la Vera (we use the hot Paprika vs the Dulce).

Hot Paprika de la Vera: The distinctive flavour of authentic Spanish chorizo comes from the very special Paprika that is produced in the fertile alluvial soils around the Tietar River in La Vera.

We simply slice the Chorizo into rounds and gently roast it until it's crisp and delicious with no greasy residue.

This product is what made us famous and I love them. So please enjoy.

Our Chorizo Thins are perfect with a glass of red – Rioja is our recommendation (but any young Spanish red is wonderful) and, in particular, a simple Joven Rioja is spot on – young, fresh and easy going. The salt picks up the fruit flavours in the wine and the fats calm down any tannins. Everything else is a joyful combination. 
We also love them with a Manzanilla Sherry, an amber ale or a Bloody Mary. For an alcohol free alternative; a brimming bowl of Seedlip and Premium Tonic is pretty damned delicious.

Of course:

Our Chorizo Thins are simply sliced and slow-roasted chorizo picante, made from: Duroc pork shoulder, Duroc pork belly, hot paprika de la Vera, salt and garlic.
