Chorizo_de_Pamplona References

Chorizo de Pamplona is a sausage that is typical in the cuisine of the Navarre region of Spain. It is prepared with equal parts of finely chopped beef and pork and significant amounts of a strong smoked paprika, pork fat and^[1] a natural or plastic casing which is designated to have a minimum size of forty millimeters in diameter. The red-orange coloration is due to the addition of paprika, which is abundant in Navarre. It differs from most other chorizos due to its thickness and more finely ground meat. Despite its local name, it is a very common type of sausage in delicatessens around the Spanish territory. It is also produced and sold in Pamplona, Spain.^[2]
