Chorizo

Artisanal chorizo: this sausage with spice!

Its burgundy red color is recognizable among all: we have named it, chorizo!

“ Chorizo ​​piccante ”, this dry sausage with its characteristic taste instantly evokes the sun, the heat, but also the Spain where it comes from.

A key food of Hispanic gastronomy, the traditional chorizo can be enjoyed in slices as an aperitif or cooked to enhance the taste of dishes and bring sunshine to your plates.

Traditionally made from pork meat, chorizo from the Boutique des Saucissons is made in the same way as a pure pork dry sausage. It is the addition of spices such as chili that gives it its warm rust color and authentic flavor.

This is how the history of Ardèche is told, through the unique flavors of our chorizo ​​…

Chorizo ​​in hot dishes!

In the kitchen, the chorizo rhymes with warmth and conviviality! In addition to the essential paella or tortilla, the chorizo can also be used in all kinds of hot or cold dishes, to enhance their taste: be creative!

Chorizo ​​goes very well with scallops, in a lightly perfumed sauce. To continue this land and sea association, the chorizo goes wonderfully with fish such as monkfish, cod or julienne.

Cut into more or less thick slices, the traditional chorizo must be seared very quickly so as not to alter its taste. It can also be cooked on the barbecue or on the griddle on summer evenings.

Multiple associations exist with the chorizo ​​… Open your field of possibilities and… enjoy! Also discover our vast selection of artisanal sausages online!
