Doña Morcilla Picofino

Asturian tradition, served in appetizer format

There are products that are part of our gastronomic culture but that, for some reason, have remained stuck in the past.
Black pudding in Asturias is one of them.
Doña Morcilla Picofino was created to pay homage to an extraordinary artisanal product and take it to a new level: the sophisticated, ready-to-enjoy appetizer, without losing an ounce of authenticity. Tradition well understood, evolved with respect, and presented like never before.

What is Doña Morcilla Picofino?

Doña Morcilla Picofino is a smooth block of Asturian black pudding, worked to achieve a smooth and elegant texture, accompanied by a Picofino vermouth gelée that provides balance, freshness and aromatic depth.
This isn't just any black pudding, nor is it a disguised pâté. This is authentic Asturian black pudding, full of character, but designed to be enjoyed in a different way: easy to serve, easy to share, and perfect for appetizers. An intense yet refined product, traditional yet surprising.

Why was Doña Morcilla Picofino born?

This product stems from a very clear conviction:
Black pudding is one of the great artisan products of our gastronomy, but it was little exploited outside of the classic formats.
At Picofino, we wanted to transform it into something new without betraying its essence. To create a ready-to-eat appetizer, traditional yet sophisticated, with a spectacular combination of flavors and a completely different format, closer to haute cuisine than to the conventional pantry.
Like almost everything at Picofino, Doña Morcilla was born with a simple yet ambitious goal: to evolve a product like no one had done before and to create something that simply hadn't been invented.

How to do it

The base is a high-quality Asturian black pudding, carefully cooked with Picofino vermouth. During the process, the fat is removed to achieve a smoother, more balanced, and more palatable texture, retaining all its flavor but without any heaviness.
Once the black pudding has been prepared, a Picofino vermouth gelée is made, a kind of vermouth jam that concentrates its herbaceous aromas, its bitter note, and its natural elegance. This gelée is placed on top of the black pudding, creating a perfect contrast between intensity and freshness.
The product is canned in a controlled process that guarantees a shelf life of up to 3 years, without losing quality or nuances.

Format, how to eat it, and packaging

Doña Morcilla Picofino comes in a double-opening tin, designed for clean and easy unmolding. Simply place it on a plate and heat it for about 20 seconds in the microwave to reach the perfect temperature.
The outer packaging is an elegant butterfly-style box that explains the product and how to use it. The packaging is designed not only to protect the product, but also to add value, surprise, and make it an excellent gift option.

Pairing and time of consumption

This is a product clearly designed for the gourmet appetizer.

Ideal to combine with:
