Alejandro Cooking Chorizo Mild
This mild, horseshoe-shaped cooking chorizo is crafted in La Rioja, Spain, by the esteemed family-run producer Embutidos Alejandro. It boasts a rich, clean flavour with a subtle smokiness derived from Pimentón de la Vera, Spain's iconic smoked paprika. The chorizo is made using traditional methods and natural fermentation, allowing the naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria in the facility to initiate the curing process. This results in a terroir-driven flavour profile that is both authentic and distinctive.
Ideal for barbecuing, grilling, or poaching in red wine, this chorizo is a versatile ingredient in professional kitchens. It pairs beautifully with beans and pulses, or can be served simply with crusty artisan bread. Try slicing it into hearty stews, lentil salads, or Spanish-style tapas boards. Its mild profile makes it a crowd-pleaser across a variety of dishes.
Founded in Logro, the capital of La Rioja, Embutidos Alejandro is a family business with a deep commitment to quality and tradition. Unlike many producers, they avoid commercial fermentation cultures, instead embracing natural processes that reflect the unique environment of their region. Their dedication to sourcing premium ingredients and maintaining artisanal methods has earned them a reputation for producing some of Spain's finest chorizos.
