F. Quarenta - Alentejo cured meats
Alentejo White Pork Paiola
A noble, authentic cured sausage, full of Alentejo flavor.
Made from the finest cuts of white pork, the Alentejo Paiola is an exceptional product that combines tradition, quality, and authenticity.
Made with carefully selected raw ingredients, this specialty is the perfect balance between ancestral recipes and modern food safety and quality control processes, preserving the genuine flavor and rustic character of the Alentejo.
It is made using the traditional methods of master charcutiers, in several carefully supervised stages:
- Chopping and Selection: only premium cuts - loins and legs - are used, ensuring a firm texture and rich flavor.
- Traditional Seasoning: red pepper paste, garlic, and natural spices create the intense, unmistakable flavor of Alentejo charcuterie.
- Holm Oak Wood Smoking: a slow, artisanal process that gives the Paiola its typical aroma and golden color.
- Curing and Quality Control: after curing, each piece is inspected individually to ensure perfect color, aroma, and flavor.
- Secure Packaging: the Paiola is packaged in a modified atmosphere, preserving its freshness, texture, and flavor until it is ready to eat.
The result is a juicy, aromatic Alentejo Paiola, ideal served in thin slices as an appetizer or on a regional charcuterie board.
A true symbol of Alentejo craftsmanship, combining tradition, quality, and authenticity in every slice.
