The thread of good work

Manufacturing sausages is the answer that the mountain people found to meet the need to prolong the life of the food stored for months.

Sierras

When the mountains received the first flakes of snow, everything was prepared for the sacrifice of the animal, the mixing of the blood with which the blood sausages were made, the toasted of the skin and its scraping, the careful separation of each piece, the airing of the meat, it’s mincing, and seasoning… all these tasks show a knowledge that lasts through time and that Sole y Goíta has brought to the present day.

Munilla

In the fifties

Sole y Goíta began making sausages in the fifties of the last century in the tiny mountain town of Munilla, La Rioja (Spain). Once the meat was cut and minced, salt, garlic, and paprika, sweet or spicy, were added, and the dough was left to macerate for 24 hours from that unctuous and firm mixture and was cased.

 

Once made, the chorizos and salchichones (sausages) were placed in the “high” of the house, the driest and most airy place, where the windows were opened at night so that the dry cold of winter hardened the meat softly and slowly. An ember of oak firewood in brass pots prevented excessive humidity and added a very light smoky touch to the sausages.

Origen

Our arrival at the Plaza de Abastos Logroño

After these beginnings, the manufacturing of the sausage moved to the Plaza de Abastos de Logroño, where people continued to appreciate the brilliance of the strings of chorizo and salchichón and continued to purchase this food for their appetizers, snacks, stews, and even make the “pregnant buns” in which they inserted a piece of sausage into the freshly fermented dough to bake it in the oven. They also took them home to make their potatoes, to which a few pieces of chorizo brightened up and gave substance to the dish.
