COVAP Iberian Charcuterie Selection

The COVAP Iberian Charcuterie Selection (130g) brings the authentic soul of Spain’s culinary heritage directly to your table. This exquisite assortment includes premium cured meats, elegantly sliced for convenience and presentation, featuring Jamón Ibérico, Lomo Ibérico, Chorizo Ibérico, and Salchichón Ibérico—all sourced from free-range 100% Iberian pigs reared on natural pastures and acorns.

Jamón Ibérico captivates with its delicate, nutty flavour and luxurious marbled fat, offering a melt-in-your-mouth texture that sets it apart from other hams. Lomo Ibérico is a cured pork loin, seasoned with paprika and spices, delivering a rich, aromatic bite with subtle hints of smoke and herbs. Chorizo Ibérico enchants with deep, smoky undertones, vibrant pimentón, and balanced seasoning, while Salchichón Ibérico offers a milder profile, expertly peppered, smooth, and savoury.

Each piece undergoes a meticulous curing process in COVAP’s natural cellars, where time, tradition, and expertise unite to develop the intense aromas and nuanced flavours that echo the essence of Spain’s dehesa landscape. These meats are naturally gluten- and lactose-free, retaining all the wholesome characteristics of classic Iberian fare, and are perfect for gourmet enthusiasts seeking authentic taste and texture.

Serving is effortless: simply open the pack and arrange the selection on a wooden board. Pair with slices of rustic bread, traditional picos, aged cheeses, and briny olives for a compelling Spanish spread. Enhance the experience with juicy figs, crisp grapes, or a drizzle of honey, which harmonize perfectly with the charcuterie’s savoury notes. For drinks, a robust Spanish red—Tempranillo or Rioja—completes the celebration.

This selection transforms casual meals, gatherings, and celebrations into sumptuous occasions, letting you effortlessly replicate Spanish hospitality and warmth. Whether enjoyed as part of a sophisticated tapas menu, shared as an aperitif, or elevated to the centrepiece for special occasions, every slice tells a story of Spanish craft and passion for flavour.

Preservation is simple: keep the selection refrigerated, bringing it to room temperature before serving to unlock its full aroma and texture. Leftovers inspire creative recipes, from bocadillos and salads to gourmet pizzas and pasta dishes.
