Sobrasada - smeared sausage, from Mallorca, Xesc Reina

Xesc Reina is one of the most renowned sausage makers in Spain. In cooperation with the Gebrüder Company, he produces the finest sobrasadas and fuets from the Porc Negre (Mallorcan pig breed). These pigs live and grow freely on two idyllic fincas in the center of the island (near Sant Joan and Maria de la Salut), feed on carob, figs, olives and only the grain produced on the property. The Porc Negre grow up there separately according to age group, between forest, fruit trees and mud, lead their lives wildly and have no stress. On the extensive grounds, in addition to the cultivation of fodder and grain, the paprika powder `Tap der Corti`, which is popular with the slow food movement, is harvested. Sheep and cattle are also raised there. The Porc Negre are slaughtered when they are around 12-14 months old. Outstanding sobrasadas are made by hand from their muscle meat. The sobrasada is a typical Mallorcan specialty: spreadable and hearty, made from finely chopped pork meat, enriched with paprika of the type Tap der Corti and pepper and filled in natural casings. It is matured for at least 3 months. Experience the pleasure and tradition of Mallorca!
