Morcilla de Burgos IGP by Embutidos Ríos is a traditional Spanish blood sausage made with rice, certified under the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) that ties it specifically to the Burgos region. It is produced from a combination of pork blood, rice, onion, pork fat, salt, and spices, resulting in a distinctive texture and well-defined flavor profile.
Unlike other types of morcilla, the inclusion of rice gives it a unique structure, balancing firmness with a soft, creamy interior. The production follows traditional methods, with a focus on natural ingredients and minimal use of additives, while ensuring consistency in quality.
After being stuffed into natural casings, the sausage undergoes thermal processing, making it ready for further culinary preparation. On the palate, it offers a rich and savory taste, with pronounced onion notes, mild spices, and a smooth, slightly fatty texture.
It is most commonly grilled or pan-fried, developing a crispy exterior while maintaining a soft and aromatic interior. Widely used in Spanish cuisine, it is served as tapas, in sandwiches, or as part of both traditional and modern dishes.
This product stands as one of the most recognizable specialties of Castilla y León, defined by its ingredients, regional identity, and protected origin.
