Extremaduran Cuisine - Embutidos

Embutidos

Extremadura's Iberian pigs are usually left to roam in relative freedom and their main diet are the acorns falling from the local oak trees. Their meat is highly valued throughout Spain, especially their ham.

Extremaduran embutidos (pork preserves) have a local flavor, like the morcilla «Felisa» (based on blood and onion), morcillas de cabezá (head innards morcillas), morcillas patateras (potato morcillas), as well as morcillas prepared with pumpkin. Dry cured pork products include the chacinas,and the local ham, longaniza and chorizo.
