History

Chorizo, the inspiration for our Chorizo Bomb, is originally from Spain, where it is seasoned with native spices, but has spread throughout Latin America as well. Mexican chorizo, for example, is known for its distinctive red color from local chiles and spices, contrasting with its Spanish counterpart, which often contains smoked paprika. Our blend offers a unique take that incorporates spices like the Pasilla Oaxaca from southern Mexico and the exotic Urfa biber from Turkey, showcasing how a single spice blend can reflect a mosaic of culinary histories.

Why We Love It

Chorizo Bomb's robust and smoky flavors make it perfect for authentic Mexican chorizo, spicing up a North African merguez, or just giving a kick to our morning eggs. We love this blend for adding depth and heat.

The More You Know

Did you know that urfa biber, one of the key ingredients in Chorizo Bomb, is often referred to as the 'raisin chile' due to its sweet, smoky flavor with a hint of chocolate? This Turkish chile is sun-dried during the day and wrapped tightly at night to lock in its unique taste, which pairs wonderfully with the other global spices in this blend.
