About Carchelejo

Carchelejo began its journey back in 1960. Its origins go back to a traditional butchery where pigs were sacrificed from the local herds of the area, thus supplying the town that today bears its name. With these meats, artisan sausages were made, which is why Don Bernardino González and his wife, Doña Juana Lomas, founders of the company, began marketing them in nearby towns.

Little by little and thanks to the determination of its founders, the fame of its products was extended throughout the Province of Jaén, extending its radius of action to other bordering provinces, mainly Cordova.

Following the tradition of the environment, the products that began to be elaborated were those that, generation after generation, have been elaborated in the Region of Sierra Mágina, natural park where the industry is located, such as chorizos rosario, sausages, butifarras and hams.

Chorizo

Chorizo, a vibrant and robust sausage with Spanish and Latin American origins, brings a burst of flavor to a wide range of dishes. Made from a blend of pork, spices, and chili peppers, chorizo is known for its distinctive smoky, spicy, and savory notes that elevate any recipe it graces.

Whether sliced and sautéed to release its aromatic oils, grilled to crispy perfection, or added as a flavor-packed ingredient in stews and paellas, chorizo infuses a dynamic and irresistible character into every culinary creation.

For wine pairing, the bold and spicy profile of chorizo requires wines that can complement its robustness. Opt for a red wine with enough fruitiness and body to stand up to the sausage's flavors. A Tempranillo or a Garnacha from Spain can harmonize beautifully with chorizo's smokiness and spiciness, enhancing the overall tasting experience.

Additionally, a medium-bodied red wine with a hint of earthiness, like a Syrah or a Zinfandel, can also create a delightful balance with chorizo's complexity, creating a symphony of flavors on the palate.
