“Lomo Cular de Bellota” 100% Iberian
The “Lomo Cular de Bellota” 100% Iberian is a delicacy of Spanish charcuterie, celebrated for its exceptional quality and unique flavor. This loin is made from 100% Pata Negra pigs, a prized breed native to Spain. These pigs are acorn-fed (bellota), a diet that profoundly enhances the taste and quality of the meat.
The production process begins with the careful cutting of the loin, followed by salting and curing. During maturation, the lomo absorbs the distinctive flavors and aromas of the acorns consumed by the pigs, resulting in a delicate texture and intensely rich taste. Its flavor profile blends smoky paprika, a subtle hint of garlic, mild spiciness, and oak-charcoal notes, creating a truly sophisticated experience for the palate.
This slow, meticulous process ensures a product of exceptional taste and quality. The “Lomo Cular de Bellota” 100% Iberian is typically served thinly sliced as an appetizer or as part of tapas, accompanied by cheese, bread, and wine. Its full-bodied flavor and tender texture make it a highly prized delicacy among enthusiasts of Spanish gastronomy and premium cured meats.
