Joselito Hand-Carved Salchichon

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The Joselito Hand-Carved Salchichon is filled with classic flavors. It’s made with lean pork, sea salt, pepper, and garlic, then naturally cured for more than six months. It is all-natural, without any preservatives or additives. With beautiful purple-red shades, it gives off an intense aroma, and the texture is tender and juicy. It has a fresh, delicate flavor—full-bodied by complex.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Usually eclipsed by the more known chorizo, salchichon is also a classic Spanish cured meat. It will be brilliant with an Albariño wine, and paired with Manchego cheese.

THE BEST OF THE BEST

Dubbed “the rebel” of the Spanish ham world, Joselito was founded by Vicente Gomez in 1898, and created it as a family business. Using only the most natural of processes, and 100% Iberian pigs, it has been declared the best ham in the world. In fact, it’s sometimes described as the Dom Perignon of Iberian cured meats.

A century and six generations later, Joselito has become a beacon of quality, and is acclaimed by the biggest names in gastronomy, and lauded by food critics worldwide.

Storage Instructions

Vacuum-sealed packs of hand-carved cured meats can last up to five months in the refrigerator (never the freezer). Once the pack is opened, they’re best enjoyed within the day.
