Tasting Notes from the Curator

Delectable on every level, the Goikoa Chorizo Vela Mild Sliced is a true testament to centuries-old Spanish charcuterie craftsmanship. The chorizo unfurls an unforgettable sensorial journey beginning with an enticingly spiced aroma, graciously afforded by the signature spices, pimentón and garlic. On the tongue, an inviting dance of tangy, salty notes mingles with the robust flavor of pimentón and delicate hints of garlic. The firm, compact texture quickly surrenders to the bite, yielding a rich, juicy experience. Accompanying the assertive flavors is its subtle heat, mild yet presence, building a harmonious balance in the palate.
