What is Fuet?
Fuet is a traditional Catalan sausage, distinguished by its slender and elongated form, encased in a natural, edible mold-covered casing. This delicacy is made from finely ground pork, seasoned with the aromatic blend of garlic, salt, and black pepper, ensuring a savory taste that takes center stage without the use of paprika. The natural pork casing and the slow curing process contribute to Fuet’s firm yet tender texture, creating a balance of fat and lean meat that offers a pronounced savory flavor.
Goikoa’s Art of Crafting Fuet
Goikoa, based in the Navarra region of Spain, is renowned for its commitment to quality and traditional charcuterie techniques.

Each sausage reflects meticulous ingredient selection, integrating only natural flavor enhancers and adhering to gluten-free and GMO-free certifications.
