Origins of Spicy Chorizo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yet chorizo only assumed its modern identity in the Middle Ages, when Spanish explorers brought paprika (piment\u00f3n) home from the New World. The sweet and spicy nuances of paprika spawned countless chorizo styles, including today\u2019s fiery version\u2014coveted for its assertive flavor and knack for elevating almost any dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
