Iberico bellota salchichón, 100% Iberico, sliced, 80 g

How our Iberico bellota salchichón is made

The pork comes from 100% Iberico pigs finished on acorns. It is minced and prepared with salt and spices, without pimentón. You'll find the full composition in the ingredients section.

The mixture goes into a casing and is left in a natural drying room for over 3 months. Only after curing do we slice it and vacuum-pack it in 80 g packs.

There is quite a bit of preparation behind it. Happily, none of that needs doing in your kitchen.

With the lomo and the chorizo, it is part of our Iberico bellota charcuterie.

A bellota salchichón without pimentón, so the meat gets noticed

The slice is a deep red, almost violet. As you eat it, the fat turns smooth and the spices go along with the meat without covering it.

This salchichón without pimentón starts gently and leaves a long finish. You can take a moment between slices. In theory, anyway.

If you'd like a profile led by pimentón, try our Iberico bellota chorizo.

A little company for your salchichón

Let the slices lose their fridge chill before serving, then spread them over a plate rather than stacking them. As the fat softens, you can appreciate the flavour more fully.

Breadsticks, olives or a mature cheese make easy companions. A cold beer or a young red wine also works well alongside it.

You don't have to arrange an elaborate board. A small plate passed around the table tends to do the job. Sometimes a little too well.

Iberico salchichón in our bundles, so there's more to choose from

With the lomo and the chorizo, it makes up the Bellota Charcuterie Pack. The three packs cost €29.40, against €32.70 bought separately. That's 10% less for the same table.

In the Spanish Aperitivo Pack, it shares the space with the chorizo, the cebo de campo ham and the cebo de campo shoulder.

The 100 % Bellota Pack brings together all five bellota products. For a festive table, there's also The Christmas Eve Pack.

You can compare them all among our Iberico packs. And if it's a gift, you'll find it in the ¡Alegría! gift hamper. In that case, try to make sure the gift arrives complete.
