Meats and Sausages
Camayot
Camayot is a large original sausage from Balearic Islands that looks like a large blood sausage or blood head cheese. In traditional home production the sausage mix as stuffed into a large sack made from the skin that remains after trimming ham or shoulder. The skin is accordingly cut and sewn to make a large casing. After stuffing the neck is sewn tightly to prevent loss of meat juices during cooking.
