Chorizo Riojano

Chorizo Riojano is a cured pork sausage without any additives, produced in the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. What was once humble food of the native people is nowadays an exceptional delicacy enjoyed all over Spain. This hand-made sausage has an intense and balanced taste with pronounced flavors of only pepper and garlic.

The texture of chorizo Riojano is smooth and soft, accompanied by its juiciness due to the balance between the lean and the fatty cuts of meat. Only the best cuts of pork are used in the production of this sausage and every step of the manufacturing process is kept separated from the production of all other chorizos.

Meat is cut into pieces and mixed with the spices, and the combination is then filled into the intestines and left to age and dry at optimal temperature, humidity, and ventilation.
