Made in Spain Gourmet Pairing
Fuet de Luxe Casa Riera Ordeix is a premium cured sausage, traditionally made in Catalonia, known for its mild flavor and delicate texture. To pair this delicious fuet, I suggest several options that enhance its flavor without overpowering it:
Wines:
Young red wine or lightly aged red wine: A fresh red wine with light aging, such as a Merlot or a Tempranillo, would be an excellent choice. Its acidity and fruity notes complement the mildness of the fuet without overwhelming the palate.
Dry white wine: An Albariño or an unoaked Chardonnay can highlight the cured-meat notes of the fuet and bring freshness to the pairing.
Beer:
Blonde beer: A light lager or pilsner will provide refreshment and a pleasant contrast to the texture of the fuet.
Craft wheat beer: A wheat beer, slightly fruity and smooth, is also an excellent option to balance the flavor of the fuet.
Cheeses:
Aged sheep’s cheese: An aged sheep’s cheese or a Manchego with a touch of salinity will complement the smoothness and flavors of the fuet.
Mild blue cheese: If you enjoy more intense flavors, a mild blue cheese (such as Roquefort) will create an intriguing and delicious contrast.
Other accompaniments:
Nuts: Almonds or walnuts, adding a crunchy touch and flavor to the combination.
Fresh or preserved fruit: Such as pears or apples, to add a hint of sweetness that balances the salinity of the fuet.
Genuine Fuet de Vic is based on the traditional method to create a very flavorful product.
Casa Riera Ordeix’s Genuine Fuet de Vic is made following the company’s tradition. First, the highest-quality pork is selected.
The selected meat is trimmed, minced, kneaded, and seasoned with sea salt and black pepper. Once the meat is seasoned, it is left to rest, stuffed into natural casing, and tied.
The drying process for Casa Riera Ordeix’s Genuine Fuet de Vic is carried out in a controlled way and can last up to three weeks.
The collar shape, characteristic of Casa Riera Ordeix
Casa Riera Ordeix’s Genuine Fuet de Vic is recognized by its flavor, aroma, and color, but also by its classic collar or stick shape (1.2 m), which gives it personality.
