100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Cular Salchichón – COVAP
At Made in Spain Gourmet, we carefully select only those Iberian cured meats that truly represent the excellence of Spanish gastronomy. This 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Cular Salchichón is one of the finest and most elegant expressions of Iberian charcuterie, where the outstanding quality of the meat and the perfect balance of seasoning take centre stage.
Made from carefully selected lean meat of 100% Iberian pigs, raised free-range in the oak pastures of Los Pedroches and naturally fed on acorns and wild grasses during the montanera season, this salchichón develops a firm yet succulent texture, a clean and elegant aroma, and a refined flavour highlighted by delicate notes of black pepper and carefully balanced natural spices.
Its traditional 70-day curing process in natural cular casing creates a cured sausage of remarkable character, exceptional length on the palate and outstanding elegance, making it one of the benchmark products of premium Iberian charcuterie.

Serving Suggestions
For the best aromatic expression, remove the product from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before serving, allowing it to reach an ideal temperature of 20–22°C (68–72°F).
Serve thinly sliced on a gourmet charcuterie board with artisan sourdough bread, traditional breadsticks, aged cheeses, selected olives or premium nuts.
It is also perfect for aperitifs, Iberian charcuterie platters, brunches or relaxed Mediterranean-style dinners.
When the ingredients are exceptional, simplicity is always the finest accompaniment.

At Made in Spain Gourmet, we believe excellence always begins at the source.

Producer
COVAP – Valle de los Pedroches Livestock Cooperative, internationally recognised for producing premium Iberian delicacies.
Origin
Los Pedroches (Córdoba, Andalusia) is home to one of Europe's best-preserved dehesa ecosystems. Its vast holm oak forests provide the ideal natural environment for raising free-range 100% Iberian pigs, whose acorn-based diet gives rise to some of the world's finest Iberian products.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Attractive deep red colour with delicate pearly marbling that reflects both the quality of the meat and the acorn-based diet.
Aroma: Clean, elegant and perfectly balanced, dominated by cured meat, black pepper and a subtle blend of natural spices that enhance without overpowering the character of the Iberian pork.
Palate: Firm, juicy and exceptionally well-balanced. Its silky texture and refined flavour combine the richness of premium Iberian meat with delicate spicy notes, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish that invites another slice.
