Catalan term or phrase: Grexions de Jabugo

Ensalada de Espinacas Frescas con Brocheta de Langostinos y Grexions de Jabugo

It's from a menu for a restaurant in Barcelona. I realise this word isn't Spanish, but I couldn't change my settings. Is "grexion" a word in Catalán?

Jabugo cracklings

Explanation:
It is indeed a selling mistake. The text should read GREIXONS DE JABUGO, and 'greixons' are another word for 'llardó', called 'chicarrón' in Spanish en 'crackling' in English according to the gencat:

ca llardó, m
ca greixó, m
ca llardufa, f
ca rostilló, m
es chicharrón
fr rillons
en crackling
