Wat een heerlijk vlees, lekker tussen je salade of op een bruschetta. Wij hebben er van genoten :)
Step 1: Slaughtering
The process begins with the Halal slaughter, carried out according to strict Islamic regulations. The meat is then cut with precision.
Step 2: Salting
After cutting, the meat undergoes a salting process. This traditional preservative not only contributes to shelf life, but also enhances the natural flavors of the meat.
Step 3: Drying
The meat is desalted, after which the drying process begins in the fresh air of the León mountains. This step is crucial for the development of the texture and aroma.
Step 4: Smoking
The meat is carefully smoked with oak wood for 12 to 16 days. This smoking process gives the meat a unique and distinctive aroma that takes the taste to a higher level.
Step 5: Maturation
As a final step, the meat is covered with a layer of extra virgin olive oil. This protects the meat and adds a subtle flavor. The meat is then dried and matured in our cellars for seven months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the fat edge of the meat yellow?
The yellow tint of the fat edge is due to the animal's diet, rich in carotene from grass. This is a natural process and does not affect the quality or taste of the meat. It actually indicates a healthy, well-fed animal, which is good for its nutritional value and taste.
Why does the color of the meat change after it is opened?
Browning of the meat after opening the package is a natural process and has nothing to do with freshness or quality. This happens due to the reaction of oxygen with myoglobin, a protein in the meat, which gives it a browner hue, just as an apple turns brown if you leave it alone. Our Halal meat is very rich in protein, which is good for your health. Don't worry, the color change doesn't mean the meat has gone bad. If you have any questions or doubts about the freshness, please feel free to contact us.
