Salchichón Ibérico de Bellota is a premium dry-cured sausage made from 100% acorn-fed Ibérico pigs, renowned for their exceptional flavor and texture. These pigs roam freely across the vast dehesa pastures of Spain, feeding primarily on acorns, which give their meat a unique aroma and a high content of oleic acid, similar to that found in olive oil.
The preparation of salchichón begins with a careful selection of meat, including the finest cuts such as ham and shoulder, which are finely chopped and mixed with salt and natural spices. The mixture is then stuffed into natural casings and left to cure through a traditional drying process for over three months, allowing the sausage to develop an intense flavor and rich aroma.
The result is a sausage with a mild yet full-bodied aroma, a pleasant texture, and a well-balanced flavor that reflects the quality of its ingredients and the expertise of skilled artisans. Salchichón Ibérico de Bellota is perfect as an appetizer, served with cheeses, olives, or fresh bread, and pairs beautifully with red wines and other gourmet delicacies.
