What You Should Know

Abbot's Butcher Chorizo Pork (Unflavored) 10 oz is a refrigerated or frozen plant-based chorizo-style product sold as a perishable wrap in a box. You'd spot it in the refrigerated or frozen meat-alternative bay of a supermarket—often shelved near tofu, ready-made vegetarian sausages, and alongside traditional pork chorizo in the deli or ethnic foods section. Shoppers pick it up on meals-focused trips: taco nights, weekend brunch preparations, or when planning flavorful weeknight dinners. The product suits flexitarians and taste-seeking home cooks who want the spicy, smoky profile of chorizo without pork; the branding leans into convenience and authenticity, using Spanish smoked paprika, chipotle and olive oil to evoke Mediterranean and Latin culinary cues. The label reads like a simple pantry list—filtered water, pea protein, tomato paste, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and spices—with an allergen note about legumes, but it does not display organic certification or heavy kid-targeted branding. Visual cues (olive oil, sea salt, tomato) create a “natural” health halo even though the item is a manufactured meat alternative. In plain terms, this is a processed plant-based meat product made from concentrated pea protein and a blend of seasonings produced in a factory. Sensory-wise it heats up to a crumbly, slightly greasy texture that browns and releases smoky, tangy notes; you crumble it for tacos, breakfast scrambles, burritos or pizza. Packaging is a small plastic-wrapped log in a box meant to stay refrigerated or frozen; the cooking ritual is quick: pan-sear and stir into recipes for immediate, bold flavor.
