It is often the case that good things not only remain the same over time, but also grow and evolve. This is precisely what has happened with the consumption of Riojan chorizo, a 100% Spanish and traditional product that has been able to adapt to new times and consumer needs, also beyond our borders.

Its flavor, quality and versatility make Rioja chorizo an essential food in our daily lives, at any time of the year and at any time of the day. From the most common forms of consumption in tapas, sandwiches or slices accompanied by a good glass of wine, to more elaborate and modern recipes that maintain the spirit of tradition.

For example, is there anything more typically Spanish than croquettes? Well, these croquettes with egg and chorizo are even more delicious. Or what about empanadillas? Well, why not prepare them with meat and spicy Riojan chorizo in the purest Argentinean style. Or the immortal tortilla de patatas, which tastes even better with chorizo.

Chorizo from La Rioja knows no season and adapts perfectly to new forms of consumption. For example, at picnics in the open air, as the ideal snack for a day out in the countryside or after a day of sport.

Made with lean pork, paprika, garlic and salt, Rioja chorizo is part of universal culture and is also consumed in countries such as France, Germany, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Italy, where it is easy to find on supermarket shelves and in specialized stores, as well as in restaurants.

For example, have you ever seen a Portuguese arroz do pato with Riojan chorizo? This type of rice is one of the most emblematic dishes of Portuguese gastronomy, made with wild duck and vegetables seasoned with various spices, which go perfectly with the Riojan chorizo sausage. Or the pizza diavola with chorizo; an explosion of flavors, only suitable for the most tolerant palates.

There are numerous varieties and flavors, adapted to all kinds of tastes, but at IGP Chorizo Rioja we ensure that the chorizo from La Rioja, the traditional one, maintains all its flavor and organoleptic properties and that it can be consumed with all the guarantees, both in Spain and abroad.
