Chorizo de León is a premium cured meat product, a symbol of the gastronomic heritage of the León region, known for its intense flavor, rich aroma, and traditional preparation methods. It is made from carefully selected cuts of pork and fat, seasoned with authentic Pimentón de La Vera smoked paprika, sea salt, and natural garlic, giving it its distinctive character and lasting juiciness.


After seasoning, the chorizo is stuffed into natural casings and undergoes a slow drying process in the pure mountain air, with a light oak wood smoking, which enhances its unique aroma and full-bodied taste. Every bite delivers the perfect balance between spicy notes and the delicate texture of the meat, creating a gastronomic experience that delights lovers of authentic cured specialties.


Thanks to its natural ingredients and traditional recipe, Chorizo de León is synonymous with quality, heritage, and a passion for exceptional flavor, offering a unique blend of tradition and modern gastronomy.
