Can Duran Exentis Vic Longaniza

Elevate your culinary experience with the remarkable Can Duran Longaniza de Vic, a truly authentic cured sausage steeped in Spanish tradition. This highly regarded longaniza (a type of sausage) originates from Vic, a town nestled in the Osona region of Catalonia, Spain. The unique microclimate of the Plana de Vic, characterised by its mild temperatures, humidity, and frequent mists, plays a crucial role in the slow and natural curing process, imparting a distinctive flavour and aroma that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Can Duran, a producer with a proud history dating back to 1946, is renowned for its commitment to traditional artisan methods while embracing innovation. Based in Centelles, within the Osona region of Catalonia, Can Duran takes immense pride in crafting exceptional cured meats. They were among the first to produce traditional longaniza de payés without sulphites, demonstrating their dedication to quality and consumer well-being. Their expertise ensures that each piece of Vic Longaniza meets the highest standards.

The Exentis collection represents their commitment to healthier, more natural cured meats. This range is specifically crafted without common allergens like gluten, lactose, dairy, or soya, making it suitable for those with sensitivities. It offers the authentic flavour of traditional Spanish sausages with a focus on purity and quality ingredients.

This superb Vic Longaniza is crafted from carefully selected lean pork and bacon, finely minced and seasoned simply with salt and black pepper. Unlike many other Spanish sausages, it contains no paprika, allowing the natural flavours of the high-quality pork to shine through. The mixture is then expertly stuffed into natural casings and undergoes a meticulous curing process for a minimum of 45 days in traditional drying rooms. During this period, a beneficial white mould flora develops on the exterior, contributing significantly to its characteristic aroma and flavour profile. When sliced, you’ll notice its appealing reddish colour, dotted with visible pieces of fat and whole black peppercorns, signifying its genuine artisan preparation.

Enjoy Can Duran Longaniza de Vic sliced thinly as part of a charcuterie board, alongside a selection of fine cheeses, olives, and crusty bread. It’s also perfect for adding a burst of flavour to salads or as a delicious snack on its own. Its balanced taste, firm yet tender texture, and delightful aroma make it a versatile and impressive addition to any gourmet selection. Experience the genuine taste of Catalonia with this superb, traditionally cured Vic longaniza, a testament to Spain’s rich culinary heritage.

How the Catalans enjoy Can Duran Exentis Vic Longaniza.

To truly appreciate its superior flavour, slice Can Duran Exentis Longaniza de Vic thinly and serve at room temperature. In Catalonia, its quality is celebrated simply.

It’s a staple for a sophisticated aperitif or as part of a refined tapas spread.
