Where do you get the loin from?

Pork loin is a part of pork that is obtained from the back area of the animal, specifically from the region near the ribs and spine. This area of the pork is characterized by having lean and tender meat, with a layer of fat that covers it, which provides it with flavor and juiciness.

The preparation of the stuffed loin

Lomo embuchado is made from pork loin, which undergoes a curing and marinating process to achieve its characteristic flavor and texture. This is the process of making stuffed loin:

Loin selection: The process begins with the selection of high-quality pork loins. These loins should be lean and free of excess fat or cartilage.

Butchering and cleaning: The loins are trimmed and any connective tissue or excess fat is removed. The aim is to obtain a lean and uniform piece of meat.

Marinated: The loin is marinated with a mixture of salt and spices. Spices vary depending on the region´s traditional recipe, but usually include paprika, garlic, pepper, oregano and other aromatic herbs. The marinade is applied to infuse the meat with the characteristic flavors.

Stuffing: After marinating the loin, it is stuffed. This involves including the marinated loin meat in a natural casing, which can be from pork or other animals. The casing acts as a natural casing, allowing the loin to maintain its shape during the curing process.

Drying and curing: The stuffed loins are hung in a cool, dry place to dry and cure. During this period, which can last several weeks or months, the meat slowly dehydrates and develops its characteristic flavor. The curing process also contributes to the preservation of the product.

Maturation: After the drying and curing phase, the stuffed loins are left to mature under controlled temperature and humidity conditions. This allows the flavors to intensify and the meat to reach the desired texture.

Cutting and packaging: Once the stuffed loins have reached the optimal point of maturity, they are cut into thin slices. These slices are vacuum packed or vacuum packed in airtight envelopes to preserve their freshness and flavor.
