Wow - look at the price of this Chorizo!

Hi,

I saw a small retail pack of sliced Chorizo in a shop today - retailing in a major supermarket for £20 for 120g - ie £167/kg (about $215/kg) !!!

I bought a pack to do a taste test. It was very good - but I've had plenty of other iberico chorizo that was just as good for a lot less.

For the taste test I used this one, some of my own, and a couple of much cheaper commercial chorizo products. The good news is that all the people tasting thought that mine and the expensive one were much better than the cheap stuff. Two out of the four actually thought mine was their favorite! However I suspect it will be a long time before I can charge as much :).

Whats the most expensive retail price for a cured meat product by the kg you have seen?
