Palacios Authentic MILD Chorizo Sliced for Tapas 3.5 oz Pack of 3

Palacios mild chorizo is the version most Cuban-American households actually keep on hand — smoky and salty from pimentón dulce, with no heat to fight the rest of the plate.

Made in La Rioja, Spain, cured and pre-sliced into thin rounds. Three 3.5 oz packs, ready to open and serve cold or warm briefly in a pan to release the orange paprika oil.

Common Uses: sliced straight onto a tapas board, layered into Cuban sandwiches and medianoches alongside the ham and lechón, chopped into scrambled eggs for breakfast, folded into empanada and croqueta fillings, dropped into garbanzos or lentejas during the last simmer.

Cultural Context: Spanish chorizo traveled with Galician and Asturian immigrants who shaped early 20th-century Havana — the same families behind the bodegas, panaderías, and the caldo gallego that still anchors Cuban menus. Keeping a pack of Palacios in the fridge is how a lot of Cuban-American homes hold onto that Spanish-Cuban line without having to drive to a specialty market.

Pairs With: manchego, membrillo, crusty Cuban bread, sidra, dry sherry, scrambled eggs, garbanzos, lentejas.

Common In: Cuban-American households nationwide, Little Havana pantries, Sunday family dinner spreads, afternoon merienda boards.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, and ships nationwide — hard to find consistently outside South Florida Spanish markets.
