100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Sliced Cular Salchichón – COVAP
At Made in Spain Gourmet, we 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 expressions of Iberian charcuterie, where exceptional raw materials and perfectly balanced seasoning are the true stars.
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, elegant aroma and a refined flavour highlighted by delicate notes of black pepper and natural spices.
Its traditional 70-day curing process in natural cular casing produces a cured sausage of remarkable personality, exceptional persistence and refined elegance, making it one of the benchmark products of premium Iberian charcuterie.
Expertly sliced and vacuum packed, it preserves all its freshness, aroma and flavour while offering maximum convenience.
