Start spreading the chews: this chorizo “schmear” is a genuinely unique addition to your charcuterie board. Delicious, too. It’s the invention of a chef who works with his brother and mother in an Ohio family business that only uses humanely raised pork from nearby farms. Try this sumptuous spread on a simple cracker or baguette to let the hot paprika, chipotle and cayenne flavors shine through. It’s not too spicy, though— just enough heat—and the smooth  texture is such an interesting alternative to traditionally chewy chorizos.

Tip of the Tongue:

Although great with cheese, the spread is a fantastic replacement for ham or bacon on eggs.
