    What is Chorizo?

    Chorizo is a sausage that is made with venison, beef, pork, chicken or turkey. Mexican chorizo was transformed from Spanish Chorizo when Spain invaded Mexico.

    The primary difference between Spanish and Mexican Chorizo, is that Spanish Chorizo is aged and smoked, whereas Mexican Chorizo is a fresh sausage, reminiscent of fresh Italian sausage.
