Sliced Cecina - 100% Natural Cured Smoked Beef, León-Style

Tender sliced cured beef with a deep red color and rich smoky flavor is León's answer to jamón. This is cecina, a premium cut of beef cured with sea salt and smoked over oakwood with no preservatives. Like jamón, over thousands of years the people of Spain have transformed the curing of beef from a necessity to an art, creating a delicate, flavorful meat unlike any other in the world.Always serve cecina thinly sliced delicacy at room temperature as you would Spanish jamón. It is usually enjoyed by itself with a glass of wine, or as a garnish for salads or roasted vegetables. Because it is leaner than ham, we usually drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil on the slices. Cecina can be served alongside a plate of sliced Serrano ham, where the similarities and contrasts between these two classic cured meats can be enjoyed.Quality is our goal, and our cecina is cured with just salt and smoke - no nitrates or nitrates added. Spain is not permitted to export beef to the United States, so we work with a small family curing house to create an American-made cecina. The cure masters take whole pieces of premium, hormone free beef and carefully cure and cold smoke each piece with oak wood in the Spanish tradition. This cecina was carefully sliced at our facilities and is kept refrigerated to preserve its flavor. Cecina does not require cooking, but can be added to recipes.
