American and Spanish Embutidos 101

2011-09-02T10:05:27-04:00

We are frequently asked about the country of origin of the charcuterie available at Spanish Feast. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has very strict rules for importing sausage and cured meats, which very few companies meet. That’s why we import only a select group of cured meats and embutidos (Spanish word for sausages), from companies like Palacios and Revilla.These companies have very strict quality control and are able to meet all of the USDAs requirements for import.

We work very closely with American artisans to provide our customers with only the most authentic Spanish-style embutidos. Rest assured, when you try our Maryland made butifarra or our California made sobrasada you are experiencing the true Spirit of Spain. Even the spices used, like Pimenton de la Vera, are from Spain

Chorizo - Spanish sausage that contains Pimenton de la Vera, can be raw, semi-cured, or fully cured. Our semi-cured chorizo comes in a six pack and is ideal for paella or on the grill. Fully cured, we offer the famous Chorizo Palacios, from Spain.

Butifarra - A raw, Catalan style sausage that contains no Pimenton de la Vera. Our is handcrafted in very small batches, right here in Maryland. Seasoned with a blend of white pepper and garlic.

Salchichon de Vic- A fully cured, Catalan style embutido made with no Pimenton. It has rich marbling and is seasoned with garlic and crunchy bits of black pepper with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Made in California

Chorizon (Chorizo Revilla, Chorizo Cantimpalo) - Chorizo Cantimpalo is a mainstay of the Spanish table. Dry cured and ready to eat, chorizo cantimpalo is generally sliced thinly and served on sandwiches, on meat platters, or as part of a tapas dish. The smoky flavor makes it ideal to serve along side wine and cheese. About 1 1/2 inches in diameter Made in Spain

Fuet - Slightly thinner than Salchichon de Vic, Fuet is also a Catalan tradition. Made with natural pork casing, it has a mild garlinc and pepper flavor. Ideal for tapas. Made in U.S.A.

Sobrasada - A spreadable pork Pate. Seasoned with smoked paprika and black pepper. A traditional Mallorcan recipe made with pride in California.

Chistorra - From the Basque region of Spain, Chistorra is seasoned with smoked paprika and garlic. This chorizo has a slight kick to it. Delicious with potatoes, eggs, or on it's own. Made in California.

Morcilla - The Famous Blood sausage, the hidden gem! Can be made with onion or rice as a filler. Generally, onion morcilla is used for grilling while the rice morcilla goes on the grill.This family recipe originated in Asturias. It is manufactured with a variety of spices and onions. It has a slight sweet finish and actually goes well in stews and on the grill. Made for us in NYC.

Paella Valenciana

2011-08-25T09:54:46-04:00

Paella is perhaps the most famous dish of Spain, and with good reason. The flavor of the broth, infused in to the rice, which takes on many textures, is truly unique. On top, the rice will be slightly chewy, in the middle, it tends to melt in your mouth, and on the bottom, if you are really an expert paella maker, you will have the socarrat, a crispy finish enjoyed by Spaniards.
