Cecina de León PGI is a fine Spanish cured meat, artisanally produced in the province of León, using only select cuts of the thigh of cattle at least 5 years old, preferably from breeds native to the region. The meat undergoes a natural salting and seasoning process in dryers for a minimum period of seven months, during which it acquires its characteristic smoky aroma, given by the smoke of oak or holm oak wood. Main characteristics: - Ingredients: High-quality beef, sea salt, natural oak or holm oak smoke. -Maturing: Minimum 7 months in natural environments. -Appearance: Toasted brown on the outside, with an internal section that varies from cherry red to garnet, accentuating towards the edges as it ripens.

Natural smoking enriches the product's aromatic profile. -Weight: Approximately 2 kg per whole slice. -Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light.
