  1. Spanish chorizo is famous for its bold, smoky flavor, which comes from a few key spices:

    Smoked paprika (pimentón) – the star ingredient that gives chorizo its distinctive smoky taste and vibrant red color.

    Garlic – adds savory depth.

    Salt – essential for seasoning and curing.

    Oregano – sometimes used for a herbal note.

    Cayenne or chili pepper – for a bit of heat (varies by recipe).

    These spices are mixed into ground pork, then the sausage is cured or smoked depending on the type. The smoked paprika is really what sets Spanish chorizo apart from other sausages.
