Il Porcellino Chorizo Salami

Bill Miner and his team at Il Porcellino Salumi in Denver, Colorado are cranking out downright delicious cured meats made from humanely raised heritage breed pork, including this chorizo. The Spanish-style salami gets its deep brick red color and sweetly smoky flavor from pimentón (Spanish paprika). There’s also a bit of garlic and oregano that complement the rich porkiness.

The chorizo is on the mild spice side, so it's flavorfully spiced but not spicy-hot. It’s so delicious that just thinking about it makes my mouth water. Perfectly pairs with a glass of Garnacha and a wedge of Manchego cheese.
