Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Cut the Iberico de Bellota pork into small chunks. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add sea salt, minced garlic, pimentón, black pepper, and curing salt to the pork. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Casings

    Soak the natural hog casings in water for at least 30 minutes to soften. Rinse the casings and fit them onto a sausage stuffer. Stuff the mixture into the casings, being careful not to overfill.

  4. 4

    Tie and Cure

    Twist the sausages into links and tie the ends securely. Hang the sausages in a cool, dark place with good air circulation for 60 days to cure.

  5. 5

    Store

    After 60 days, the chorizo is ready to be sliced and enjoyed. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate.
