Dulce Chorizo

Dulce Chorizo

Everyday

Dulce chorizo is a sweetened Spanish-style pork sausage that balances smoky paprika and garlic with added brown sugar or honey, creating a distinctive sweet-spicy flavor profile. Unlike traditional chorizo varieties that emphasize heat, this cured sausage prioritizes caramelized sweetness while retaining high protein content and characteristic paprika richness. It is often pan-seared to crisp the exterior and intensify its glaze-like qualities, making it popular in tapas, stuffed dates, or as a bold pizza topping.
