There does not seem to be an equivalent Spanish product. Super Turre don't know what it is! The shop near Alice's has Atora but it is like a lump of putty to feel and not loose as it should be. Perhaps a duff batch. Any ideas please?

As you say, may be a duff batch.  Why don't you go to Iceland in Vera where I'm sure there must be more turnover of Atora, especially at this time of the year when our thoughts turn to stew and dumplings!

Hi not sure I can help but the (fat suet) is wrapped around the beasts kidneys , this also applies to sheep and pigs alike. So you will appreciate there’s nit a lot from one whole beast ( cow bull) you can use the fat around a sheep’s kidneys but not from a pig, as it’s thin and basically useless . In England you would chill this fat to make it brittle so you can put it through a very fine mincer blade, you can add quality beef fat to this mix when mincing it . To keep it loose , you will have to add flower to prevent it from sticking together in lumps . Atora is the choice of make in England or a local butcher would be my preferred choice . Theres some quality private butcher shops in Spain who may be able to help . Garrucha has very good butchers . Good luck
