Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

As a born and raised Texan, I've been eating Mexican chorizo all my life. This is something completely different. It's more like salami or pepperoni, only a whole lot better.
The flavor is unbelievable, and the uses are virtually endless. Paired with manchego cheese, bread, and red wine it is much more than a tapas dish; it's a meal. I have used it on homemade pizza, in omelets, and in jambalaya. This is an outstanding product!
I read some of the other reviews where people were complaining about the texture and toughness. It is best to slice it very thinly, which will not only cure the chewiness, but will allow the flavor to intensify in your mouth.

I added chopped chorizo to my red beans and rice. It gave them a wonderful boost of flavor.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Used in a Spanish/Argentine Paella dish along with chicken, shrimp, and mussels. Was awesome!!! Excellent texture and taste. Also, fine as a snack with a nice Malbec.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I added the chorizo (regular) and Manchego cheese to a scrambled egg, which I then placed over buttered whole grain toast and the result was spectacular. So easy and quick but restaurant quality.

I got this for use at my sisters Christmas party. I cut it up with cheese and crackers. I went well with the sourdough crackers I got at the same time. It said hot on the package but it wasn't overwhelming. Very good.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I loved the chorizo. It was so flavorful. I used it in eggs and with seafood. I bought regular and hot...so good. I have since bought it again.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Excellent addition to navy bean soup.
Great on its own.

This is the first time my wife and I tried Chorizo, so I don't know if this is typical of all chorizos. It has good flavor, tasting somewhat like pepperoni, and can be eaten uncooked or used in recipes. We tried it uncooked and also in a chorizo-chili recipe. It was flavorful both ways, but tough in texture both ways. It contains tough chunks that we found unpleasant. Some chunks were even hard. You have to wonder what parts of the animal are being used in this product. Because of the texture we would not purchase again.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

It is the best Chorizo you can eat. It is flavorful and the spicy one is a delight. If you never tried it....you should do it now!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Thin sliced, with ship Feta cheese, butter, and home made bread; green onions and olives on side; mumm, tasting like home!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I got the spicy version of the chorizo. It was well-spiced rather than hot in terms of heat from what might be a chili pepper type taste. It is dry and has the texture of a very tender salami. I had it with goat cheese, olives and red pepper on a platter with a crusty bread.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This is an excellent chorizo. I have used it in soups, charro beans (fabulous), and on its own. The flavor is great and I haven't found a better chorizo.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I have chorizo as an appetizer. That one just tasted like real chorizo, what else can I say?

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This is a wonderful sausage. NOT like Chorizo you might find locally. Full of flavor with a spicy kick but not too spicy. Fantastic with a piece of good cheese or a chunk of crusty bread and a glass of wine.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

this was very good but I expected more spice, it was a bit bland, but still had a nice flavor.but then again I'm not a big chorizo person, just wanted to try it.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This is a fantastic product. Better than the best Italian salami in my opinion. I know as I have spent many $$$$ buying salami as I love them. This is wonderful sausage. Spicy, flavorful, lingering, and fantastic with many things such as wines, breads, etc. You must buy one and make your own decision.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Tastes great, with no preservatives, just like old fashioned Spanish chorizo recipes. Thanks!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This chorizo is so good. I use it in many different ways. As hors d'oeuvres, in tapas, or simply to flavor the broth of soups, also to cook navy beans (favada) or even in my paella.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I love sausage and salami but years of healthy habits now make a lot of it seem overly salty, and this was quite fatty too.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I lived in Spain for a couple of years and this is the closest tha I have found to the REAL thing.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This was great served as an Hors d'oeuvre.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

great, authentic flavors. this is all about balance.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Great for Tapas, with a simple plate of cheese, also terrific added to an omelette.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Added slices to chili. Even after removing outer casing and simmering in chili, pieces were still a bit chewy. Might be better to cut each slice in half or into quarters. Have had Mexican chorizo - this Spanish chorizo was definetly milder and had a different texture. Also purchased picante version of the Spanish chorizo but have not tasted yet. Maybe I'll like that one better.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Goes great with rice and beans.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Wonderful chorizo.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

We used this chorizo in hashbrowns to spice them up! Mix in with onions, shallots, potatoes, and cheese! It is awesome!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Cook with just about anything..great on it's own.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

nice product to add spice and depth to other plain dishes

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Excellent chorizo, better than you can find in any market here in southern california which has a large spanish population. As good as home made here.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This was so much better than store bought. This was the real deal! Very versatile and just spicy enough.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

My wife and I would never ever order this product again. The taste and smell were way over the top...unpleasantly earthy. Guess our taste buds have been used to appreciating the American version of Chorizo.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Use to add flavor to maranara, or brown and wild rice. Perfectly seasoned. Great with scrambled eggs. We buy several pounds at a time, found last batch to be inconsistant however, overly chewy ingredients not sure if its the casing or what, not happy.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I have purchased this product twice [...] and I have been quite pleased on both occasions. The first time, I included it in a hearty chili recipe (yes, chili with chorizo!) and the flavor permeated through the dish and MADE it! I will purchase this again and again...

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Great taste, better than my homemade version.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

"palacious", so much better than anything you cand find in the marketplace .

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Wonderful authentic flavor, with a slight hint of fire. Can be used in many dishes.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

This Spanish chorizo is hard to find in the US since the government or USDA began overly protective requirements which also ban French "sauccison sec" pork sausage from the US market. Somehow the folks at iGourmet people found a way to sneak it through - congratulations! The flavor is strong, not hot; a textbook chorizo de lomo as we used to call them here.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

After having this fabulous chorizo at a wine bar, I was hankering to get some and decided to try this one [...]. It's authentic tasting, a little on the salty side but not what I would have liked. In all fairness, I was yearning for the one that I had at the wine bar, so I should try to find the same instead.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

HAVING TRIED COUNTLESS CHORIZOS HERE AND ABROAD, THIS ONE IS THE FIRST I HAVE TASTED STATESIDE THAT HAS THE CLASSIC SPANISH FLAVOR. NOT TOO GREASY OR TOO SPICY. PERFECT WITH A DRY RED WINE BEFORE DINNER. THE TIP-OFF THAT THIS SAUSAGE IS WELL MADE THAT EVEN IN SUMMER MID-DAY HEAT THE CUT UP SAUSAGE DOESN'T "SWEAT" ON THE PLATE WHILE WAITING TO BE PRESENTED TO COMPANY.LOVE IT!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Very tasty; great for snacking

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I thought this Spanish chorizo was wonderful. It was very full-flavored and had just a bit of a bite, but was definitely not particularly spicy. (My wife, who has a very sensetive palate, thought it was too spicy, but I didn't notice much heat at all.) I had it mixed with pasta and melted gouda for a great "mac and cheese," mixed in with scrambled eggs, and just by itself in thick slices. I have always been more familiar with fresh Mexican chorizo than the cured Spanish style and I was very pleased with the experience.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

had initially ordered the regular, but they had run out, so spicy was subsituted. very tasty. would stick to spicy if i were to order again.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

authentic...but didn't last long after opened

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Quite different from it's Mexican cousins, this chorizo has infinitely more flavor and body. By itself, it can lean towards the "dry and dense", so it's best to utilize it in a dish that will lend moisture to this wonderful product of Spain.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Great with tortilla or scrambled eggs!!!!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

unlike many domestic USA chorizos, this product is firm, slices easily, and travels well.
dont waste this chorizo in scrambled eggs.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

I'm sure this is very authentic, but having never been to Spain I found this chorizo a bit odd. It's very hard, it has giant lumps of solid fat, and it tastes mostly of paprika. I never figured out quite what to do with it. I could not aquire a taste for eating slices of it plain and it's too hard to add to recipes. It's probably best for those who grew up eating Spanish food.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Easy to work with-great for use in dishes from Spain-especially Paella!!!

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Moist, with just enough spicey kick, this is a great sausage. Perfect for snacking or including in a Frittata. Thank goodness the U.S. government finally relaxed it's overly zealous regulations and now allows the import of genuine Chorizo from Spain. This is also a great value

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

If you know nothing of Iberian cured meats, you can start here at the entry level and will not be disappointed. The smokiness imparted by Spanish paprika (pimenton) sets chorizo apart from other cured meats. Equally adept in lending character to cooked dishes or sliced to nibble on its own. If you care to graduate to a more subtle, nay, sublime product, do not hesitate to pay the price for lomo. Although the commercial brands offered here are not Spain's best, it's what one can get here, which is surely far better than nothing.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

great product with tons of flavor. great to be cooked with hash browns and other breakfast items.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

First, let me admit that this is only the second time I have ever eaten chorizo. The first was at Jaleo, a tapas bar in Washington, DC, where it was grilled and served with a sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes. I used half a stick in a recipe for Chicken and Chorizo Chili. This was less than 1/3 the amount the recipe called for (3/4 lb. chorizo to 2 lb. ground chicken), but the heavy flavor of the chorizo overpowered everything else in the dish. It's still in the frig, but I will likely be throwing it out. I'm giving this product an average rating because my ignorance of what chorizo should taste like may make me a poor judge of it. I would like to try some other brands and see how they compare.

Comments about Chorizo by Palacios:

Thin slice it at a diagonal and serve it with a crusty french bread - nothing else. You can refrigerate it, but always serve it at room temperature to fully enjoy the taste. This is not to be confused with Mexican chorizo. Spanish chorizo is more like a hard italian salami - only much, much better. TRY IT!

Delicious Chorizo faithful to the taste of Spain!
