History and uniqueness

First, the meat and fat are minced. Later, it is mixed with the rest of the ingredients. The mixture is left to rest in a cool place overnight. The mixture is then stuffed into a pig’s intestine. Then the intestine is tied and is put out in the fresh air, choosing ideal places according to temperature and humidity. During the curing process it is dried and it acquires its firm texture and it also develops its aroma, which results from the aromatic herbs used and the activity of the microbes in the meat.
