Sotopalacios Burgos Blood Sausage

Sotopalacios Burgos Blood Sausage (300g) captures the heart of Spanish culinary tradition in every mouthful, delivering a unique blend of flavours and textures that has delighted food lovers for centuries. Originating from the historic province of Burgos, this gourmet sausage is famed across Spain and beyond for its distinctive combination of key ingredients.

This blood sausage, an iconic charcuterie from Burgos, combines carefully cooked rice with sweet regional onions, pork blood, creamy lard, and a secret blend of Mediterranean spices. The result is a rich, hearty creation with a robust aroma and a remarkably moist, delicate texture. Every Sotopalacios blood sausage is gently cured and skillfully filled by hand, faithfully adhering to celebrated family methods passed down through the generations.

The rice imparts a subtle firmness and gently absorbs the intense, spiced flavours that define the recipe. Onions from the Burgos region, especially the local Horcal variety, lend sweetness and juiciness while the carefully selected pork blood binds the mixture and deepens the flavour. Lard ensures a smooth mouthfeel and, together with the aromatic paprika, pepper, and oregano, creates an irresistible harmony in every slice.

True to its provincial origins, this gourmet sausage is renowned for versatility. Serve it as the highlight of a traditional tapas spread, quickly pan-fried in olive oil until the edges turn golden and slightly crisp. It is superb as a filling for roasted piquillo peppers or as a flavourful layer in rustic Spanish stews, baked rice dishes, and even grilled in thick, hearty slices for a bocadillo sandwich. The intensely savoury and slightly spiced flavour also pairs perfectly with fried eggs, roasted root vegetables, or charred red peppers.

Sotopalacios Burgos Blood Sausage is vacuum-packed at peak freshness to guarantee a rich, authentic taste experience from the first bite to the last. Each bite invites you to enjoy a celebrated piece of Spain’s culinary heritage in your own kitchen.
