A traditional Catalan sausage

Llonganissa de Pagès is an iconic artisanal Catalan sausage. Its name literally means “peasant sausage,” a name that reflects its rustic origins, its connection to local tradition, and its simple, authentic production method.

A traditional recipe

This charcuterie is made from carefully selected pork. It primarily combines lean pork, shoulder, ham, and pork belly trimmings to achieve a pleasant balance of texture, flavor, and chew.

A simple and aromatic seasoning

Llonganissa de Pagès is seasoned with salt and spices. This understated recipe preserves the meat’s natural character while imparting a mild, aromatic flavor typical of Catalan cured meats.

Slow curing in natural casings

The product is stuffed into a natural casing and then slowly dried for about two months. This gradual curing process develops the firm texture and characteristic flavor of the llonganissa.

Once dried, the cross-section has a reddish color, while the exterior may take on a natural white hue, which varies depending on drying conditions and the region’s climate.

A mild and rustic flavor

On the palate, Llonganissa de Pagès offers a firm texture, a medium-bodied bite, and a mild, aromatic flavor. It appeals with its traditional character without being overly strong.

Serving suggestions

It can be enjoyed on its own, as tapas, thinly sliced as an appetizer, with bread, or as an ingredient to add a Catalan touch to certain recipes.
