Androlla is a traditional Spanish sausage. It is popular in the northwest part of Spain, especially in Galicia. People enjoy it for its unique taste and how it's made.

How is Androlla Made?

Androlla is made from specific parts of a pig. It uses what are called "cueras," which are the ends of bacon slabs. These "cueras" are carefully cleaned, and their skin is removed. Then, meat from the ribs and parts of the diaphragm muscles are added. All these ingredients are mixed together to create the sausage.

Androlla is mainly found in the region of Galicia. However, in other parts of Spain, like the provinces of León and Zamora, the word "androlla" can sometimes be used to mean any kind of pork sausage. This shows how popular pork sausages are in these areas.

How to Eat Androlla?

Androlla is always eaten cooked. It is often served with "cachelos," which are simply boiled potatoes. This simple way of serving allows the rich flavor of the sausage to stand out. It's a comforting and traditional meal in Galicia.
