| What is it? |
A small salchichon 'vela' made from the highest quality iberico meat.
Let's break down the characteristics of this chorizo:
Salchichon: A cured sausage made from chopped pork loin and pork fat and flavoured mostly with black pepper - sometimes known as Spanish salami.
Vela: This is a small diameter stick, which is great for slicing by hand for snacks, picnics and sandwiches.
Iberico: Iberico meats are fundamentally different from a 'Serrano' (or white) because the pig used is a different race - the black-footed, Iberian pig. The properties of the meat produced by this pig are what gives Iberico meat it's highly sought-after characteristics: a richer, darker colour; a stronger, more complex flavour; more prevalent, better flavoured fat.
Cebo: This is the non-acorn fed variety of Iberico meat. Whilst the difference in price is enormous, the actual difference in flavour is not so massive. The main flavour components come from the fact that this is still an Iberico pig, which is common to both 'bellota' and 'cebo' varieties. The 'cebo' lacks the slight fruity/nutty edge which raises the 'bellota' to caviar status (and price).
Abundio Matas have been producing Iberico meats in Guijuelo since 1922. They meticulously select the best pigs and let them run free in their extensive 'dehesa' where they enjoy a natural diet, foraging for acorns and grasses. The meats are then expertly cured in the cool, dry climate of the high Salamanca hills.
