Cecina

A unique Spanish specialty

Beef Cecina is a traditional Spanish cured meat made from dried beef. Often called “beef ham,” it offers an original and refined alternative to classic hams.

A product born of ancestral expertise

Cecina is one of the oldest preserved meat preparations. Its origins date back over 2,000 years, with references to it appearing as early as Roman times in the work “Res Rustica.” Production methods still rely on salt, drying, and cold.

Select beef

Cecina is made from various cuts of beef thigh, carefully selected to ensure a pleasant texture and consistent quality.

Long aging and oak smoking

This cecina is aged for a minimum of 14 months and then lightly smoked over oak wood. This process develops deep aromas and a unique flavor profile.

Pieces of varying weights

The product is available in pieces of varying weights, allowing for flexible use tailored to your needs. This format is ideal for gradual consumption or for adapting to different uses.

An intense and elegant flavor

Cecina stands out for its deep, slightly smoky flavor and its melt-in-your-mouth texture when thinly sliced. It offers a different experience from traditional hams.

Serving suggestions

We recommend slicing it very thinly and serving it at room temperature. It’s perfect as an appetizer, on a charcuterie platter, or drizzled with a little olive oil.
