Premium Spanish cured shoulder ham produced in Spain from 100% Ibérico pigs raised free-range and fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera period. This traditional feeding system contributes to the exceptional quality of the meat, developing the distinctive richness and complexity associated with Bellota Ibérico products. Traditionally cured to develop depth of flavour and texture, the paleta achieves a tender, finely marbled texture with a smooth mouthfeel. When sliced, it reveals an attractive appearance with colours ranging from intense red to bright cherry red, complemented by bright ivory-coloured fat marbling. The flavour is smooth, rich, and balanced, with the characteristic sweetness of acorn-fed Ibérico pork, while the aroma is elegant and typical of traditionally cured Bellota Ibérico ham. Carefully prepared in a convenient bone-out format, it is ideal for premium foodservice and charcuterie applications.
Use
