Iberian Serrano Blood Sausage Horseshoe Monesterio

The Iberian Serrano Blood Sausage Horseshoe from Monesterio is a traditional sausage from Extremadura, made with select ingredients from the Iberian pig. Its preparation includes pork belly, jowl, fat, and/or bacon, combined with natural garlic, blood, salt, and a mix of spices like paprika, oregano, and cumin. This mixture is stuffed into a natural casing shaped like a horseshoe and cured in natural drying rooms for about a month, giving it its characteristic flavor and texture.

This sausage has been an essential part of popular cuisine, especially in the tradition of the Extremaduran slaughter. Its culinary versatility allows it to be enjoyed in various preparations: from being part of stews like the Extremaduran cocido, to frying, grilling, in sandwiches, or even consumed raw spread on bread. Additionally, it is suitable for people with intolerances, as it contains no gluten, lactose, or allergenic components.

Presentation

The blood sausage is offered in large horseshoe-shaped pieces, generally not vacuum-packed. The weight of the pieces can vary, with options ranging from approximately 0.350 kg to 0.450 kg.
