Celta Pork Sweet Vela Chorizo: The Soft Flavor of Tradition
Our Vela type Celta Pork Chorizo is the most delicate and accessible expression of Galician charcuterie. Its vela format (thinner and cured) makes it perfect for raw consumption, being the ideal complement on any charcuterie board or appetizer.
The secret of its flavor lies in the balance:
- Vela Format: Thanks to its thinner diameter, this chorizo reaches an optimal curing point that facilitates slicing, offering a firm and meaty texture, ideal for tasting raw.
- Smoked Celta Pork Meat: We use lean meat, loin, and bacon from our native breed, raised freely. It is seasoned with the exact amount of garlic and the characteristic Sweet Paprika, which gives it its vibrant color and mild flavor.
- Smoked with Oak Wood: Like our traditional chorizos, it undergoes a natural smoking process with oak wood. This touch of smoke complements the sweetness of the paprika, creating a complex and very appealing aroma.

🔪 Tasting Tips (Ready to Slice)
This chorizo is perfect for enjoying raw, cold, or at room temperature:
- Tempered: Remove the vacuum packaging about $15$ minutes before slicing. Tempering releases the aromas of the smoke and softens the infiltrated fat.
- Fine Slice: The vela format allows for thin and even slicing, ideal for tapas and pinchos.
- Mild Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with creamy cheeses (like Tetilla or Arzúa-Ulloa cheese) and a white wine, as its sweet and smoky flavor does not conflict with more delicate notes.
