About Embutidos

Embutidos are a diverse category of cured or cooked sausages and meats traditionally found in Spanish cuisine. Originating in Spain, these products vary widely, from chorizo and salchichón to lomo embuchado, and are crafted using minced pork, beef, or a mix, often seasoned with spices like paprika, garlic, and oregano. Embutidos are typically encased and dried, smoked, or aged to develop their distinct flavor profiles. While they are rich in protein and flavorful, embutidos can be high in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process and the cuts of meat used. Some varieties may also contain preservatives. Moderate consumption of embutidos as part of a balanced diet can provide essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, but excessive intake may impact heart health. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or whole grains can help offset some of their less healthy attributes.
