I got a taste of Chorizo when I was in Spain many years ago, and spent the rest of my time here in the States trying to find it, explaining to folks that "No, this is MEXICAN chorizo, it is NOT the same!" This product arrived promptly, securely packaged. Like I said, it has been many years since I had chorizo in Zaragoza, so I can excuse it for not tasting exactly the same. Perhaps it is a regional thing. It tastes a little like pepperoni, but with enough of a bite to make me happy. I suspect that "my" chorizo is more of a blood sausage than what they call chorizo in Pamplona. Still, I like it.
