Cecina 1900 g

Spanish cow’s ham

Cecina de vaca is a unique speciality of Spanish cuisine. Made from dried beef, it is often compared to ham, whilst offering a different and highly distinctive flavour profile.

A thousand-year-old tradition

Cecina has been produced since Roman times. Its name derives from the Latin ‘siccus’, meaning ‘dry’, in reference to its method of preservation by dehydration. This ancient process already allowed meat to be preserved for long periods.

A long and carefully controlled curing process

After salting, the meat is matured for at least 14 months. This maturation period allows it to develop a tender texture and deep flavours. Smoking over oak wood completes this process, adding an extra layer of flavour.

A cut to share

Given its size, this cecina is ideal for enthusiasts, delicatessens or the catering trade. It can be sliced to order and stored gradually.

A refined tasting experience

It is best enjoyed in very thin slices, at room temperature, to reveal its full finesse. It can be served on its own, with bread and a drizzle of olive oil, or as part of a tapas platter.

A gourmet product

Cecina is now regarded as a high-quality product, prized for its history, production method and unique flavour within the world of cured meats.
