Espuña Mild Chorizo Ring (Sarta)

Back in the old Spain a common way to present dry cured sausages was in the form of a ring. The shape made it easy to tie together, hang and cure. In Spanish these ring salami are called “Sarta”, which literally means a set of objects tied together with twine. Spanish ring salami are of a thin diameter, under 1 and a 1/2″, have a small grind and are cured for 30 days, or less. The thin diameter and small grind make for a small and uniform slice, fat and lean are usually of the same size.
