Cecina de Leon is a traditional Spanish cured beef ham and is the flagship product of the province of Leon. This outstanding product, often also referred to as Spanish dry aged beef jerky, is made from the legs of cattle and undergoes a production process which is unique in Spain and elsewhere in the world. It is exclusively produced in the province of Leon and, although different types of beef jerky exist in Spain, Cecina de Leon is the only one which has been registered and protected as a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) by the European Commission due to its unique characteristics.
