About

Embutidos Entrepeñas is a venerable family-owned company with a rich history spanning over 60 years. Currently managed by the third generation, it is situated in Geras de Gordón, a quaint village nestled in the rural northwest of the province of Leon, Spain. All family actively works in the business, and you can notice their commitment on every step.

The microclimate of Geras de Gordón, characterised by long, dry winters and frequent frosts, provides the perfect natural conditions for curing meats. This environment allows Embutidos Entrepeñas to excel in producing high-quality Chorizo de Leon and Cecinas, utilising traditional methods that have been refined over decades. The natural curing process is a testament to the company’s commitment to tradition and enhances the flavour and quality of their products.

Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

Embutidos Entrepeñas prides itself on its adherence to traditional curing techniques, passed down through generations. Dry and very cold winters are excellent for curing meats, reducing the consumption of energy in fridges or to extract humidity, making it much less carbon intensive that cured meats produced in more humid climates. Cows for their cecinas are at least 5 years old, and most of them are roaming semi wild in the heights of the Cantabric range of mountains, where no other food can be cultivated. Beef lives in the mountains from Spring to the first snow, and then it is brought down to the valleys in winter, as it has been done since the Middle Ages. Animals here coexist with packs of wolves and bears, nonetheless.

The fusion of a unique microclimate, traditional curing methods, and a deep-rooted family legacy results in products that are not just food items but a rich culinary experience.
