Authentic León Beef Cecina

Cecinas Nieto’s León PGI Beef Cecina is a traditional Spanish speciality made from beef in the province of León.

A beef charcuterie

Unlike ham, which is made from pork, León Cecina is prepared with beef and offers a completely different flavour profile.

A Protected Geographical Indication

León Cecina benefits from a PGI which protects its origin and guarantees that it is produced in accordance with the region’s traditional methods.

A minimum curing period of 12 months

This beef Cecina is matured for at least 12 months. This slow maturation process allows the flavours to gradually intensify and its characteristic aromas to develop.

An intense and refined flavour

The ageing period gives the beef a deep, balanced and lingering flavour that defines the character of Cecina de León.

To be sliced thinly

To fully enjoy its texture and aromas, we recommend slicing the cecina as thinly as possible.

A very simple way to enjoy it

Beef Cecina can be enjoyed on its own with good bread or drizzled with a few drops of extra virgin olive oil.

Ideal for tapas

Cut into thin slices, it’s perfect for creating original tapas and beautiful platters of Spanish charcuterie.

An excellent alternative to ham

For charcuterie lovers, beef cecina offers the chance to discover another great Spanish tradition, with flavours very different from those of ham.
