Ibérico salchichón sausage is made from pork of the famed black-hoofed Ibérico pig, native to Spain. The pork is dark red and marbled with delicate Ibérico fat, creating a sausage full of intense flavor. Ibérico salchichón sausages are simply seasoned with sea salt and black pepper and hung to cure in the cool mountain air for several weeks. Unlike Ibérico chorizo, salchichón sausages are not seasoned with smoked paprika.
