Sobrasada is the national sausage of the Balearic Islands. Because of the balmy semi-tropical climate, islanders on Majorca and Minorca could not dry cure their meat to preserve it. Instead, they found they could preserve their meat by mixing it with a local type of paprika. The result is sobrasada, a finely ground soft pork link of excellent quality, flavored with paprika. It is unique for its soft-spreadable texture. It is used for cooking or spread on a piece of bread and toasted.About 2.5 inches thick.
