Chorizo santarrosano comes from Santa Rosa de Osos in Antioquia, where butchers have made this vivid red sausage for generations. Marinated overnight in vinegar and annatto, then grilled over coals, it is the star of chorizo stands across Colombia.

The annatto gives the chorizo its brilliant color and a gentle, earthy warmth, while vinegar and garlic keep it bright and savory. Grilled until the casing snaps, it is juicy, smoky, and perfect on a warm arepa with a squeeze of lime.
