This dry-cured sausage is made with pork from Spanish pigs which have foraged in oak forests for their food, developing lean flesh with a slightly nutty flavor. The meat is coarsely ground and the fat is not separated before being blended with pepper, nutmeg, and other spices. Hamlovers' salchichón tends to be a bit spicy, with a slightly creamy texture from the fat. It is cured for a minimum of 45 days.

This snackable delicacy pairs best with hearty red wines which can cope with the spicy flavor and enhance it without becoming overwhelming. It can be eaten plain as a snack of aperitif, or combined with rustic bread and hard cheese in the Spanish style.

Although we vacuum-pack it the same day you order it, our salchichón can be stored in a cool dry place out of the light for up to one year. Once the packing has been opened, the sausage should be refrigerated.

Available sliced, in 300-350g pieces, and as whole 1kg sausages.
