This Chorizo Cantimpalo is a traditional Spanish dry-cured chorizo inspired by the homestyle recipes of the Basque Country. Made in the classic Cantimpalo style, it features coarsely ground pork seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, and salt, creating a balanced profile that is savory, gently smoky, and deeply pork-forward without excessive heat.
This chorizo is air-dried to achieve a firm, sliceable texture and a clean, well-defined flavor. It’s well suited for slicing thin on charcuterie boards, pairing with cheese and bread, or incorporating into tapas, stews, and simple cooked dishes where its paprika-driven character can shine without overpowering other ingredients.
Quijote Food was founded by Basque sportsmen who brought their regional chorizo-making traditions with them to Miami in the 1980s. What began as small-batch chorizo for family and friends has grown into one of the most respected producers of Spanish-style chorizo in the U.S., combining traditional recipes with USDA-certified production while maintaining a strong family-run identity.
