A Mendiko chorizo made with tradition and authentic flavor.

Once cured, the chorizos measure approximately 28 mm in diameter and 230 mm in length and weigh approximately 0.200 kg. They are cylindrical, candle-shaped, and have a compact consistency to the touch, a rough exterior, with the casing well adhered and no mold.
Its color is reddish (brownish red to bright red), characteristic of products cured with paprika. They have a distinctive smell and taste, which comes mainly from the spices and seasonings used, together with the curing process.
INGREDIENTS: Pork, paprika, Espelette pepper, garlic, salt, and edible collagen casing.PACKAGING: Packaged in a protective atmosphere.
Preparation
Mix minced pork in appropriate proportions to a maximum size of 10 mm. Salt, garlic, and spices are added to this mixture and kneaded to obtain a homogeneous and bound mass, which is vacuum-packed into collagen casings. The resulting pieces undergo a slow maturing-drying process in a temperature- and humidity-controlled drying room, achieving gradual water loss along with the development of organoleptic characteristics.
