Cecina

A unique Spanish speciality

Cecina de vache is a traditional Spanish cured meat made from dried beef. Often referred to as ‘beef ham’, it offers an original and refined alternative to classic hams.

A product born of ancestral expertise

Cecina is one of the oldest methods of preserving meat. Its origins date back over 2,000 years, with references to it appearing as far back as Roman times in the work *Res Rustica*. The production methods still rely on salt, drying and cold.

Carefully selected beef

Cecina is made from various cuts of beef thigh, carefully selected to ensure a pleasant texture and consistent quality.

A long curing process and oak smoking

This cecina is matured for a minimum of 14 months and then lightly smoked over oak wood. This process develops deep flavours and a unique taste profile.

Pieces of varying weights

The product is available in pieces of varying weights, allowing for flexible use tailored to your needs. This format is ideal for gradual consumption or for adapting to different uses.

An intense and elegant flavour

Cecina stands out for its deep, slightly smoky flavour and its melt-in-the-mouth texture when thinly sliced. It offers a different experience to traditional hams.

Serving suggestions

We recommend cutting it into very thin slices and serving it at room temperature. It is perfect as an aperitif, on a charcuterie platter or drizzled with a little olive oil.
