Appearance: Marbled by the infiltrated pork fat, slightly golden. The shiny red color grabs your attention and asks you to try it.
Texture: Friendly, consistent and meaty.
Aroma: Intense, very powerful. It smells like meat, wet fields and acorns and reveals touches of spices. The burnt wood and perhaps a touch of toasted sugar also come out as well as the crust of toasted bread…
Taste: It melts in the mouth and there is a bit of paprika, a touch of garlic and hints of spice and smoke… The aftertaste is long and very gratifying.
