Categories : Your Spanish Corner

1. Chorizo: The Undisputed King of Spanish Cured Meats

The 5 Spanish Cured Meats You Must Try At Least Once in Your Life (and Probably Again and Again)

There are many kinds of chorizo, but none quite like the Spanish one.

Whether it’s sliced, stuffed in a sandwich, pan-fried with eggs, or giving depth to a lentil stew, chorizo is as versatile as it is delicious. Its intense flavor, with pimentón de la Vera, garlic, and a smoky kick, makes it a must-have in every Spanish kitchen.

And within the world of chorizo, there's plenty to explore:

Whichever one you choose, if you order it from www.yourspanishcorner.com, you’ll get that authentic flavor delivered right to your doorstep, anywhere in Europe.

2. Salchichón: Chorizo’s Sophisticated Cousin

Less smoky, more peppery, and with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Spanish salchichón, especially the Iberian kind, brings elegance to any charcuterie board—or to a quiet evening snack.

Pro tip: Look for salchichón with whole black peppercorns. And if it's from Vic or Guijuelo, you're tasting the best of the best.

At Your Spanish Corner, you’ll find it in all formats: whole, sliced, or vacuum-packed so it stays fresh and flavorful.

3. Fuet: The Snack That Disappears Before You Realize It

Who hasn’t accidentally eaten a whole fuet while prepping snacks? If you’ve ever said “just a slice” and then ended up with an empty wrapper—you’re not alone.

Fuet is addictive, tasty, light (or so we like to believe), and undeniably Spanish. Originally from Catalonia, it has become one of the most beloved cured meats both inside and outside of Spain.

The fuet from Casa Tarradellas is a top seller at www.yourspanishcorner.com.

Serve it with tomato-rubbed bread and a cold beer, and you’ll understand the magic.

4. Chistorra: Fat, Flavor and Spanish Joy

Few things scream Spanish celebration like chistorra sizzling in a pan.

Typical of the north—especially Navarra and the Basque Country—this delicacy is perfect for warm sandwiches, quick tapas, or casual weekend get-togethers.

With its intense red color and blend of pork, garlic and paprika, chistorra brings a festive touch to any table. And yes, you can order it straight from Your Spanish Corner and enjoy it at home—even if you're far from a Spanish village fair.

5. Sobrasada: The Red Gold of Mallorca

Sobrasada is one of those foods you have to try to understand.

Rich, aromatic, and deeply Mediterranean, this spreadable cured sausage from Mallorca gets its unique flavor from paprika, black pork, and careful curing.

Whether on toast, with a drizzle of honey, or as a flavor base for other dishes, Mallorcan sobrasada with Protected Designation of Origin is a gem worth discovering.

And the best part? You don’t have to wait for someone to bring it back from Spain. It’s available now at Your Spanish Corner, ready to ship to your kitchen.
