Publix Argentine Style Chorizo
What it is
This is a type of fresh sausage made with pork and seasoned with paprika, garlic, and other spices. It is typically cured and dried, giving it a firm texture and a rich, savory flavor. The Argentine style often features a distinct smoky and slightly spicy profile, making it a popular choice for grilling and cooking.
How people cook with it
This versatile sausage is a staple in many kitchens, perfect for adding bold flavor to a variety of dishes.

To cook, remove the chorizo from its casing if desired, or cook it whole. It can be grilled, pan-fried, or baked. For grilling, cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, turning occasionally. When pan-frying, place the chorizo in a skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon if you prefer. It can also be simmered in sauces or added to casseroles. Ensure it is cooked thoroughly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Argentine chorizo is distinct from Spanish chorizo, which is typically cured and smoked, and Mexican chorizo, which is usually fresh and crumbly. This version has a firmer texture than most fresh Mexican chorizos and a more pronounced paprika flavor profile than some Italian sausages.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the chorizo. It should be kept tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container. Properly stored, it will remain fresh for several days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, it can be frozen.
