Plant fat, zero cholesterol
Chorizeta uses 100% plant fat (canola and palm) as a texturizer, which helps achieve that juiciness and natural sizzle you'd expect from chorizo. Being plant-based, it contains no cholesterol, and comes from responsibly sourced suppliers.
Made with oyster mushrooms
Made primarily with oyster mushrooms, a fungus naturally rich in fiber and beta-glucans, compounds associated with digestive well-being and cellular protection against oxidative stress. By adding a bit of soy, we reach a protein content comparable to a similar serving of traditional chorizo, but with a plant base that's light and nutritious.
Lower environmental impact
Mushrooms can transform agro-industrial waste into food. Thanks to this, each 200 g pack of Chorizeta avoids about 0.25 kg of CO₂eq compared to traditional pork chorizo (1.23 kg per kilo, validated by Climate KIC under ISO 14040 and 14044 standards). Its production requires fewer resources, less energy, and less space than meat, offering a more sustainable alternative without sacrificing the flavor we love.
