Selected Salted Lacon: The Secret of the Galician Chestnut
Our selected salted lacon is the result of a unique breeding tradition. It comes from Galician pigs. These animals have been fed with Galician chestnuts. This fruit gives them a special flavor.
The result is a lacon of the highest quality. Its meat is more marbled and juicy. Additionally, it has a slightly sweet touch, characteristic of this natural diet. It is the fundamental piece for the famous dish of Lacon with Grelos. It is also excellent for enriching any stew or potage.

🧑🍳 Cooking Tips: Desalting Process
The salted lacon requires an essential step before cooking.
- Prior Preparation: It is crucial to desalinate the lacon. Place it in a large container. It must be completely submerged in cold water.
- Desalting Time: The soaking should last between 24 and 48 hours. It depends on the desired saltiness.
- Water Change: Change the water at least twice a day. This ensures that the desalting process is effective.
- Cooking: Once desalinated, put it to cook. Use clean and abundant water. A good guideline is to cook it for 1 hour for each kilogram of weight of the piece.
Tip: The lacon is ready when the meat easily separates from the bone. You can cook the potatoes and the grelos in the same broth.
