Tasting Notes

Chistorra is vibrant red from the smoked pimentón, with a thin casing that crisps perfectly when cooked. The flavor is bold and savory — smoky paprika and garlic at the front, with a mild, clean pork finish that is less intense than chorizo. When grilled or pan-fried, the casing blisters and the fat renders beautifully, creating a juicy, flavorful bite that is impossible to stop at one.

How to Cook and Serve

Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until the casing is golden and crispy. Serve whole on a shared plate with aioli and crusty bread, or slice diagonally and serve on pintxos skewers. Also excellent sliced over scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes (patatas bravas), or folded into a bocadillo sandwich. A party favorite at Spanish-themed gatherings across California, Florida, Texas, and beyond.

• Grill or pan-fry — do not boil
• Pairs with aioli, pan con tomate, and Manchego
• Classic with Txakoli, Cava, or cold Estrella Damm
• Perfect for tapas parties, BBQs, and pintxos spreads
