BrindisaAir-Dried Smoked Beef Slices
Cecinas Pablo Air Dried Smoked Beef Slices are a traditional Spanish delicacy made in the north of Castile and Leon, an area long known for producing some of the finest cecina. Made using carefully selected beef and slowly air dried before gentle natural smoking, these thin slices have a deep, savoury flavour with subtle smokiness and a distinctive iron richness. The texture is tender and silky, designed to be enjoyed straight from the pack or as part of simple dishes that let the quality shine. This is a refined alternative to cured meats like bresaola or beef jerky, ideal for sharing boards, light meals or adding depth to everyday cooking.

Why is cecina from this region of Spain so highly regarded?
The climate around Astorga combines high altitude with cold, dry winters, creating ideal conditions for slow air drying which helps develop flavour without overpowering the beef.
How does cecina differ from other cured beef products?
Cecina is made from larger cuts of beef and undergoes a longer curing and smoking process, resulting in a deeper flavour and softer texture than many cured beef alternatives.
What makes this cecina award winning?
Judges praised its balance of subtle smoke, natural sweetness and rich beef flavour, along with its moisture level and tenderness that allows it to melt on the tongue.
