Reimagine your charcuterie board with the complex flavors of The Spotted Trotter’s dry-cured Cecina. Based in Atlanta, these artisan butchers pay homage to a Spanish classic while adding their own spin. After the beef is brined in Spanish sherry infused with onion, garlic, and peppercorns, it’s smoked over pecan wood, giving it an earthy finish. Salty and meaty, with just a bit of marbling, it’s lean enough that it pairs well with a richly flavorful cheese, like Mitica’s Espelette Goat Cheese.
“When it comes to creating a charcuterie board, I love to make mine versatile in both flavor profile and types of meat. This is my go-to beef option because I love the hint of nuttiness that come from smoking it over pecan wood.”
Beef (Cured With Water, Sherry [Fermented Grapes, Sulfites], Onion, Salt, Sugar, Smoked Paprika, Garlic, Spices, Cultured Celery Powder)
- Cecina is prevalent in both Spain and Mexico, though it’s prepared differently in the two countries. The Spanish version is prepared like jamon but using beef instead of pork—the meat is salted, dry-cured, then sliced.
- Cecina is a whole-muscle charcuterie made with beef, which makes it like Italian bresaola but with a very different flavor profile. Bresaola tends to be sweeter.
- This is a great charcuterie option for those who don’t eat pork.
- The Spotted Trotter creates their spice mixes each day in-house to ensure the blend is a fresh as possible.
- Try including this in your picnic basket, either as a component in a sandwich or as a snack to be enjoyed on its own.
