The company prides itself on maintaining original recipes passed down through generations, coupled with modern quality controls that ensure every bite is a journey into Spain’s gastronomic heart.
Crafting the Perfect Morcilla
The making of the Morcilla Extra Asturiana involves a meticulous process. Premium pork fat, fresh onions, select spices, and pork blood are carefully blended and encased in natural casings. These sausages are then smoked over wood, typically oak or beech, to infuse a deep, rich, and aromatic flavor that sets them apart. This smoking process is central to the sausage’s distinctive smoky profile, highlighting its allure in traditional dishes such as the iconic Fabada Asturiana.
Sensory Excellence
The Morcilla Extra Asturiana delights the senses with its deep, reddish-brown hue and the comforting smell of smoked paprika. The flavor is an exquisite balance of umami richness imparted by the pork blood and the sweet undertones of onions. The smokiness from the wood smoke rounds off this culinary masterpiece, making it a standout ingredient in various culinary creations including stews, tapas, and beyond.
Culinary Versatility
This versatile sausage can transform a simple dish into a gourmet experience. Its applications are vast, from the traditional Fabada Asturiana, where it enriches the stew’s depth, to grilled or fried servings as a tapa. Its rich flavors also add a unique touch when incorporated into omelettes, pastries, or even as a stuffing for piquillo peppers. Each use promises to bring a touch of Asturias to your culinary repertoire.
A Cultural Culinary Icon
Asturias holds Morcilla Asturiana in high regard, particularly the smoked variety for its preservation qualities and intense flavor. This product not only provides a taste of the region but also connects you to the traditions passed down through generations, a true celebration of Spain’s diverse and vibrant gastronomy.
