- Tocino (Pork Belly): The succulent smoked pork belly imparts a luscious mouthfeel and a deep savory flavor to the stew.
A Culinary Delight for Your Kitchen
Compango Asturiano El Hórreo is the cornerstone of the classic Fabada Asturiana—a robust bean stew that has become a symbol of Asturian gastronomy.

This compango not only enhances the Fabada Asturiana but can also be a flavorful base for a myriad of other Spanish stews, lentil dishes, and hearty casseroles.
