The Chorizo ​​Iberico de Bellota is not 'ordinary' chorizo, it is a next-level chorizo! This is partly because Chorizo ​​Iberico de Bellota is made from the meat of Iberico pigs, raised in the beautiful Deheza of Antonio Álvarez "Jamones" in the Pedroches Valley.

What is chorizo?

Chorizo ​​is a Spanish sausage known for its intense flavor and characteristic spice profile. It is traditionally made from pork mixed with spices such as paprika, garlic, cumin and oregano. The taste may vary depending on the region and spices used. The Chorizo ​​Iberico de Bellota is a dried chorizo ​​and has therefore undergone a ripening process, which removes the moisture and gives it a firm structure. In addition, the sausage has also acquired a more intense flavor due to ripening.

Chorizo ​​Iberico de Bellota

What makes this chorizo ​​so special? It all starts with the pigs roaming free and feasting on a diet of juicy acorns. This gives the meat an unmistakable taste and a wonderful aroma. The Dehesa, with its lush oak forests, provides the ideal environment for these pigs to thrive and develop their unique character.

The word "bellota" is a Spanish word that means jerk. In the context of food, especially Iberian products such as Jamon de Bellota or Chorizo ​​Iberico de Bellota, it refers to the fact that the animals (usually pigs) have fed on acorns during their final stages of life. Acorn nutrition is an important aspect in the production of high-quality Iberian products, as it results in a unique and intense flavor. The acorns contribute to the characteristic aroma and subtle sweetness of the meat.
