Texas Iberico® pigs live outside from birth, wandering across the Trails End Ranch run by Ashly Martin, a third-generation rancher in Comfort, Texas. The wild countryside is studded with Texas live oak and mesquite trees, as well as prickly pear cactus. The pigs eat everything, including acorns, herbs, sweet mesquite beans and prickly pear fruit. This special Texan diet adds complex flavor to the pork, perfect for making an excellent cured sausage.
This salami is carefully aged by a curing house in Atlanta famous for its artisan methods. The sausage master includes smoked serrano pepper to add a nice spiciness, but not so much that it masks the rich Iberico pork flavor.
Texas Iberico® pigs are never given antibiotics and they live their entire lives outside. They are certified Animal Welfare Approved by the AGW organization.
