Rearing and Feeding: Maldonado loin comes from purebred Iberian pigs, raised free-range with the utmost care on the company’s own dehesas in Alburquerque, Badajoz (Extremadura). During the montanera season, they feed on acorns; outside this period, on grasses and roots native to the dehesa. The rearing and feeding of the animals are fully certified by independent certification bodies.
Production: Made from the most highly prized meats for their quality, from purebred Iberian pigs, just like Maldonado hams. Entirely artisan production following ancestral techniques.
Quality: Manuel Maldonado conveys all his passion for the world of pure Iberian pork into the product, using a fully artisan process with technology always at the service of gastronomic excellence.
Production Area: Alburquerque, Badajoz (Extremadura).
Tasting note: Traditional, carefully crafted, exquisite. Its color and sheen come from the natural casing, the meat from the finest cuts of Iberian pork, and always-natural spices. Each piece is a work of craftsmanship, different from all the rest. Juicy and with good consistency. Firm and mellow, its texture is so characteristic thanks to the lean meat and the beautifully melted fat from the noble cuts used to make it. Intense. It remains through to the finish with very well-defined notes. On the nose, the aroma of quality Iberian pork and 100% natural spices is perceived. A true taste of tradition. It is honest and flavorful on entry. It offers a unique balance between lean meat, fat, black pepper, and the rest of the spices. Its flavor evokes the past; it is pure and distinctive, with character. Persistent and refined.
Packaging: Vacuum-packed. For transport, it is packed in cardboard boxes or an individual box.
Pairing: At Made in Spain Gourmet we recommend pairing it with Verdejo wines such as Menade or Curioso and premium cavas. Also with fruity wines and olorosos such as those from Lustau. And always accompanied by sourdough bread or crackers, with a little extra virgin olive oil on the bread or crackers—it is absolutely delicious. Remember to open it and leave it to rest on a plate or serving tile for about 30 minutes so it reaches room temperature. This way, all the nuances of its fantastic flavor will be appreciated in the mouth.

How We Select Salchichón at Made in Spain Gourmet
Selecting only black-label Iberian salchichón guarantees you the most singular and unique product in Spanish gastronomy; while the other categories offer good products, nothing compares to an acorn-fed Iberian salchichón.
The 100% Iberian-breed pigs we offer at Made in Spain Gourmet have been fed exclusively on natural feed, natural pasture, and acorns.
100% Iberian-breed pigs are raised free-range during the montanera season, the pigs’ fattening period, when they can reach up to 180 kilos. That freedom gives them unique relaxation and quality of life, which is reflected in the quality of the meat.
A 100% Iberian-breed salchichón usually has a minimum curing time of 6-8 months.
