Pack of 2 Catalan Fuets Espetec Extra 2 x 160 g

Fuet (“whip” in Catalan) is a charcuterie speciality from Catalonia. Thinner and longer than a French saucisson, it is stuffed into a narrow natural casing and dried using a traditional Catalan method. The result: a lighter texture, a more delicate, peppery taste and that characteristic crunchy bite you don't find in a classic saucisson. They are two different products — complementary, not interchangeable.

Simple: a 160g saucisson goes quickly. With friends during aperitif, as a snack at the office, or while hiking, it disappears in minutes. The pack of 2 for €8.25 is cheaper than two separate purchases, and saves you the frustration of running out at the wrong time. For regulars, the pack is the natural format.

Absolutely normal, and even desirable. This white coating is a natural mold (Penicillium) that develops during traditional curing. It protects the fuet and actively contributes to the development of its aromas. It's the signature of authentic drying—not a defect, but proof of quality.

Espetec is the traditional Catalan name for a superior thin fuet sausage. The "Extra" designation refers to the selection of the best pieces — impeccable natural casing, expertly cured, consistent taste. This is the premium version of Catalan fuet, the one Catalans themselves eat.

Naturally, broken by hand – that’s the authentic Catalan way. Or sliced diagonally on a platter for visual effect. It pairs perfectly with tomato bread (pa amb tomàquet), olives and a glass of Cava or Garnacha. Take it out of the fridge 10 to 15 minutes before serving to release all its aromas.

Before opening, keep them in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry place. Unopened, they can also be kept at room temperature in a cool, ventilated place, as in Catalonia. Once opened, wrap the cut fuet in baking paper or a clean tea towel, put it back in the refrigerator and eat it within 2 weeks. The second fuet stays intact until you open it.

They are even their original use. Light, without bulky packaging, they last perfectly several hours without refrigeration. Catalan fuet is the ideal gourmet snack for outdoor activities — practical, nourishing, and much better than any cereal bar.

Yes, fuet catalan is mild, not spicy, and very accessible to young palates. It is often the first Iberian charcuterie product that children spontaneously adopt — its light texture and delicate taste immediately appeal to them.

Fuet contains neither paprika nor chilli: its flavour comes from the meat, salt, spices and curing. Chorizo gets its character from paprika (and cayenne for the hot version). Two Spanish specialities, two very different taste experiences. On a board, they complement each other perfectly.
