The sausage known today as ‘chistorra’, or ‘txistorra’ in Basque, is a typical sausage from Navarra.
The presence of chistorra or txistorra in Navarra’s gastronomy dates back to at least the beginning of the 19th century. The collective label ‘Chistorra de Navarra’ / ‘Nafarroako txistorra’ / ‘Txistorra de Navarra’ came into being in September 2022.
Navarra Chistorra
The geographical area defined for the production of Navarra Chistorra / Txistorra includes the entire Community of Navarra.
Chistorra is a product that originally came from Navarra which, due to the reputation it acquired and how readily available it became, is now eaten throughout Spain.
Chistorra is a meat product made from pork meat and fat, which is minced and marinated with salt, paprika and garlic, stuffed in natural lamb gut or edible collagen casing and subjected to a short maturation process of at least two days.
