Iberian Charcuterie

What are Iberian sausages?

Sausage is usually called a piece of Iberian meat minced and seasoned with aromatic herbs and different spices (paprika, pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, etc.) that is introduced ("sausage") into pig gut skin.

The natural casing is the authentic creator of the great flavor of the natural Iberian sausage due to its great qualities in curing the sausages. Likewise, this form of healing has made it easily maintainable for relatively long periods of time.

What kind of sausages are there?

Natural, spicy or extra spicy sobrasada: Made from selected pork meat, seasoned with salt, paprika and black pepper. It is stuffed into casing and presents a slow maturation.

Fuet: Its base is minced pork, seasoned with garlic and pepper. It does not require a long cure. Its skin is usually white due to the presence of fungi that help it ripen. It is served raw, as a tapa or appetizer.

Acorn-fed Iberian loin: Made with the meat located in the upper part of the pig, near the backbone (practically free of external fat). It is salted, marinated and stuffed into natural casings and subjected to an appropriate curing time.

Iberian chorizo: Made from minced pork meat and marinated with spices, of which paprika is what gives it its reddish hue. The skin is pig intestine.
