Slicing: Thinly cold-sliced with a slicing machine and hand packed. Different packs in an order may come from different pieces and batches.

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.
