Morcilla de Burgos is protected across the European Union as a protected geographical indication. What that means in practice is that a document exists - the product specification - which fixes the area it may be made in, the raw material it may be made from and the method that may be used, and that a name outside those bounds may not be used on a label.
A protected geographical indication requires that at least one stage of production, processing or preparation happens in the defined area, which is a lower bar than a designation of origin.

Product classes this name belongs to
What this page does not have
The register records that a specification exists and where it was published. It does not publish the specification text through its API, so this site does not reproduce salting times, ageing minimums or any other production parameter for this product. Those are in the filed document, reachable through the publications above.
Buying blood sausage
Not the protected designation
Nothing sold on Amazon carries the name Morcilla de Burgos. What is linked below is blood sausage, the product class this designation is a variety of. It is not Morcilla de Burgos and it is not covered by the specification filed under PGI-ES-01282. Everything above this line describes a legal claim; the product below makes no part of it.
Cooked rather than cured in the sense the rest of this site means, and included because the register protects several of them: Morcilla de Burgos, Kiszka and Boudin noir de Nancy among others. It is a useful boundary case, because a product can be a protected traditional speciality without being preserved at all.
What to read on the label. Sold cooked and refrigerated. It is not shelf stable and none of the water activity figures on this site apply to it.
