Botagueña

Botagueña, also known as tarángana in Castilla la Vieja, güeña in La Nueva, virica in Navarra, is a blood sausage made with encallado (pieces of lungs, heart or stomach), which is also called offal meat. Botagueña, unlike typical blood sausages, is not cooked after stuffing. The sausage is smoked, dried and stored in cool well ventilated room and is characterized by its long shelf life.
