Processing
The heart of this sausage is lean meat from Iberian pigs, finely ground and mixed with its own fat, adding white and black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, garlic and salt.
It is marinated for at least 24 hours and stuffed into natural sausage casings that are tied in the traditional manner of salchichón and dried and aged for 6 to 8 months.
The meat comes from purebred Iberian pigs reared on the open range in the woodlands of Extremadura on a diet of acorns during the fattening period.
In the delicate process of preparation and curing, care is taken to keep the shortest possible distance to the slaughterhouse and allow the animals to rest to avoid stress, which can alter Ph levels.
Just enough salt is used to ensure preservation, which is the secret of superb flavour.
Ingredients: meat and fat from bellota-grade purebred Iberian pigs, white and black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, garlic, salt, sugars and authorised preservatives.
Production
Purebreed Iberian pigs reared on the open range.
Taste note
Intense aroma, plump, juicy texture and precise balance between lean meat and fat.
Enjoying your salchichón
Because it has been vacuum packed, salchichón should be removed from its wrapping 20 minutes before it is to be eaten to allow flavours to develop. Its ideal appearance, colour and consistency are achieved if it is allowed to air for 24 hours.
Once the vacuum seal is broken the product must be removed from its bag. Please store it at between 0 ºC and 5 ºC (32 to 41 ºF).

The salchichón sausage ships in a cardboard carton. It is vacuum-packed (see picture).

Haltbar, gute Konsistenz. Bestens für Maschinen (auch Feinschnitt) geeignet. Delikat und kräftig im Geschmack.
Auch ohne Brot- einfach nur zu nebenei essen-, ein nicht alltäglicher Genuss.

Durable, good consistency. Best for machines (also fine) is suitable. Delicate and strong in taste. Even without-just to nebenei eat bread, not an everyday indulgence.
