Slice paper-thin, dress with olive oil and Parmigiano shavings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCecina de León is the cured beef tradition of north-west Spain. The hindquarter is salted, lightly oak-smoked and aged for at least seven months until the meat turns deep garnet, almost black at the edges. The flavour is dense and savoury, with a smoky depth and clean beef sweetness on the finish. It carries the same theatre as Iberico ham, but with the leaner character of pure beef. The rule is simple: slice as thinly as the knife allows, just before serving. Lay the slices flat on a chilled plate, drizzle with a green, peppery extra virgin olive oil, crack over black pepper and finish with shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve alongside warm sourdough, manchego and a glass of Mencía or Ribera del Duero. Cecina is also at home on a charcuterie board with cornichons and aged cheeses. Approximately 2kg whole piece.
