The first product is this delicious spicy Mexican pork chorizo. The owner, Anselmo Torres, prepares it in small batches so it’s always fresh! For now, he is doing all the work himself and works hard daily trying to promote and get the word out about his product. This Moyahua, Zacatecas style chorizo is house-made, seasoned and cured to perfection. Find the link below.
