Chorizo is a mixture of minced meats, coming from only the fine pieces of pork, seasoned with sea salt, paprika, garlic and sugar, mixed and cased in intestines, which has passed through a maturing-drying process, characterised by its red colour and characteristic aroma and flavour.
This cut is characterised by a thick mince and bright colouring, characteristic of the marbling in the muscles of a free-range pig.
