Vallina Asturian Fabada Espanola (Various)

Vallina Asturian Fabada Espanola Kit

Discover the hearty and authentic flavours of Vallina Compango Asturiano Para Fabes, the essential ingredient for preparing the iconic Spanish dish, Fabada Asturiana (or Fabada Espanola). This authentic “compango” is a carefully selected assortment of cured and smoked meats, specifically chosen and portioned to infuse bean stews with their rich, characteristic taste. It includes Asturian chorizo, Asturian morcilla (blood sausage), and cured pork belly (panceta), all smoked over oak wood, which gives them their distinctive aroma and deep flavour.

The term “Asturiano” in the name highlights its origin from Asturias, a region in northern Spain, renowned for its rich culinary traditions, particularly its hearty stews and excellent cured meats. The unique climate of Asturias, with its damp, Atlantic influence, combined with traditional smoking techniques, contributes to the specific character of these meats. Vallina, as a producer, is a respected name in Asturian charcuterie, committed to upholding the regional culinary heritage. They source high-quality pork and adhere to the traditional methods of curing and smoking that define authentic Asturian compango, ensuring that each component contributes perfectly to a robust and flavourful stew.

This compango is specifically prepared “Para Fabes,” meaning “for beans,” indicating its primary use in Fabada Asturiana. This classic comfort food is a rich, satisfying bean stew made with large white beans (fabes de la Granja) slowly simmered with the compango, allowing the flavours and fats to render into the beans, creating a creamy texture and an incredibly savoury broth. Beyond Fabada, this versatile compango can also be used to enrich other pulse-based dishes, stews, or even used to flavour green vegetables.

The Vallina Compango Asturiano is a premium product that provides both convenience and genuine flavour, allowing you to recreate the rustic charm of Asturian cooking in your own home. It embodies the robust culinary spirit of Asturias, offering a simple way to achieve deep, traditional Spanish flavours in your slow-cooked dishes. Bring the warmth and taste of northern Spain to your table with this essential compango.
