Chorizo Leon

Chorizo Leon is a horseshoe-shaped, herradura, ready-to-eat sausage, secured with a string from hanging on poles when curing. Its distinctive flavor comes from using all four types of Spanish pimenton: mild, smoked, hot and bittersweet. This cured sausage has a bold smoky flavor, dark red color, rich aroma and excellent texture. This is the typical flavor of chorizo made in the northwest of Spain in León. Slice as tapa or hor d'oeuvres, Chorizo Leon also makes a great sandwich filling or pizza topping. The possibilities are endless!
