Cecina is a delicious cured beef typical of the region of León in northwest Spain. This tender, flavorful meat has a mild saltiness and is often cold smoked over oak wood. Sadly, it is not possible to import cecina from Spain. But we are thrilled to offer this authentic version from the countryside of Patagonia, Chile! Free-range beef is cured in small batches by an artisan family company who follow the curing traditions of León. The result is among the best cecina we have ever tried, and a La Tienda exclusive.
