One of the tastiest youâll find on the gourmet market, itâs not a stretch to call this the Rolls Royce of chorizos. Itâs made with pimenton de la Vera (smoked paprika), and carefully selected high quality pork meat.
It has a wonderfully rich, clean flavor, with a beautiful hint of smokiness. Itâs also very versatile, and will add the lushest flavor to your dishes.
âBarbacoaâ translates to âbarbecue,â and it truly is the ideal way to enjoy the Alejandro Chorizo Barbacoa. Pair it with some beans and good, crusty bread. But itâs also great poached in red wine, and cooked in a variety of other dishes.
You can also use the red wine as a delicious juicy glaze.
Embutidos Alejandro is a small, family-owned Spanish company founded in 1987, although the family has been making chorizo since the 1960s. Itâs located in the La Rioja region, where you will find the best Spanish wines and chorizo. Their pigs are raised free range and fed an all-natural diet, and they adhere to strict processes in selection of breeds. Theyâve been producing artisan chorizos, a traditional and iconic Spanish sausage, with traditional recipes and methods passed down through generations.
Embutidos Alejandro prides itself in not only their quality chorizos, but in the wide variety they offer, from Magno and Troncal, which are great for tapas, to Barbacoa, which is ideal for cooking, and many more. They also pride themselves in keeping their chorizos 100% natural, gluten-free, and lactose-free.
This type of sausage may be stored for up to 6 weeks (if whole) in your pantry and indefinitely in the refrigerator (whole or in vacuum-packed slices). After opening, they should be used within 3 weeks.
