Charlito's Cocina - Chorizo Seco sliced

Charlito’s Cocina Chorizo Seco — New York

Charlito’s Cocina makes what may be the most honest Spanish-style chorizo produced in the United States. The philosophy is radical in its simplicity: use as few ingredients as possible, source them impeccably, and let the process do the rest. Heritage breed, Animal Welfare Certified pork. Solar evaporated sea salt. Pimentón de la Vera from Burlap & Barrel. A kiss of garlic. That’s it. Slow fermented and dry cured, the Chorizo Seco is a true expression of what happens when a short list of phenomenal ingredients is guided through transformation with patience and craft. Gluten-free and keto-friendly.

The slices are deeply crimson with a firm, supple texture and an aroma that is smoky, paprika-forward, and unmistakably Spanish in character. On the palate, the fat is rich and clean, the spice is warm and lingering, and the finish is long with a gentle garlic sweetness. No fillers, no “natural flavors,” no shortcuts — just chorizo as it was meant to be made.
