Recommendations for consuming Iberian chorizo:

Knowing this, it is now even more enjoyable to savor a piece of quality Iberian chorizo. But, how is the best way to consume it? Are there any recommendations we should keep in mind?

According to recommendations from Arturo Sánchez, the chorizo should be sliced according to taste: thin slices to awaken the palate gradually, or thicker slices to achieve a greater intensity of flavor from the start. Chorizo is flavorful, smooth, consistent, with an intoxicating aroma... so it can be enjoyed on its own to savor all its nuances. It does not saturate and does not repeat. However, accompanying it with bread remains an exquisite tradition.

It is also recommended to let the piece air for a few minutes before consumption to better appreciate its aroma and flavor. It is advised that, once opened, it should be consumed within a maximum of 1 month.
