Aurelia's Chorizo Spanish Chorizo is one of the finest examples of a dry-cured sausage there is. It can be sliced and served as a tapa or pincho (appetizer). It can be added to beans, stews or egg dishes. And of course, it is the perfect addition to paella. At Aurellia's Chorizo, we take the responsibility of quality very seriously. Our sausage is made with very high standards. Only beautiful full cuts of pork and beef chuck are used. No fillers or trimmings. Garlic is freshly ground for each batch. Our smoked paprika is imported from the de la Vera region of Spain. This region of denomination is very important to our sausage's depth of flavor. It takes a full month to smoke, age and dry our chorizo.
