Doña Juana Chorizo León 12 oz – Smoked Spanish Chorizo USA

Doña Juana's Chorizo León 12 oz is a bold, wood-smoked Spanish chorizo from the storied charcuterie tradition of León, Castilla y León — distinctly different from paprika-cured chorizos thanks to its signature cold-smoking over native hardwoods. Made with premium pork, smoked pimentón, garlic, and oregano, this is a richer, earthier chorizo with a deeply satisfying complexity. Vacuum-sealed and shipped to homes across the USA.

What Makes Doña Juana Chorizo León Different

• Cold-smoked over hardwood — the defining character of Leonese chorizo; no other Spanish region smokes like León
• Oregano seasoning — unique to the Leonese recipe; adds herbal depth beyond standard paprika-garlic chorizos
• Premium Spanish pork — sourced from trusted Castilian farms
• Ready to eat — fully cured; also excellent cooked in stews and egg dishes
• 12 oz / 340g — a generous piece for charcuterie, cooking, or gifting

Tasting Notes

Deep red with a dark, smoke-kissed exterior and a rich, inviting aroma of oak, paprika, and cured pork. On the palate: bold and savory, smoky and complex up front, with a long, warming finish from paprika, garlic, and oregano. Firm and chewy, satisfyingly meaty. The smoke integrates seamlessly with the seasonings — a layered flavor profile that makes this the most distinctive chorizo in the Doña Juana lineup.

How to Serve and Cook

Slice thin and serve as a standalone tapa on a charcuterie board — no preparation needed. For cooking, sauté thick rounds in olive oil and add to lentil soup, cocido madrileño, or fabada asturiana. The rendered paprika-infused fat is itself a powerful flavoring agent — use it to fry potatoes, drizzle over eggs, or toss with bread. A bold Spanish chorizo for cooking enthusiasts across California, Florida, New York, and beyond.

• Ready to eat — slice thin and serve immediately
• Excellent in lentil soup, cocido, and white bean stew
• Pan-fry to release rich, paprika-infused cooking fat
• Pairs with Ribera del Duero, Tempranillo, or Spanish lager
