Red Cured 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Chorizo, Majada Pedroche
Chorizo is Spain’s most popular and most internationally renowned cured sausage. It is made from pork, pork fat, and spices such as paprika and, in some cases, as here, garlic. Pork chorizo has that characteristic red color given by the paprika.
Chorizo is the most versatile cured sausage. Its quality and price are determined by the raw materials used. The ones selected by Made in Spain Gourmet are those made with the highest proportion of Iberian pork and the least bacon fat.
We consider Iberian chorizo to be any chorizo made from Iberian-breed pigs with at least 50% Iberian genetics. They are regarded as the finest Spanish chorizos, among which acorn-fed Iberian chorizo and 100% Iberian chorizo are the very best. Their flavor comes from the pig breed itself and from the natural foods they have eaten, such as acorns and natural pasture. These pigs live free-range in the Spanish dehesas.

At Made in Spain Gourmet, we recommend pairing it with a young red wine and also with an oloroso sherry from Jerez. It is a perfect combination within our gourmet concept. Always serve it with sourdough bread or crackers, and a little extra virgin olive oil on top of the bread or crackers—it is delicious.
