The slices are very easy to separate, to present on a plate and impress all Iberico lovers.

CURED FOR 48 months using artisanal methods in La Alberca, Spain, a Natural Reserve declared a World Heritage.

Paleta Bellota comes from the front legs, typically called the shoulder. It's usually smaller - which accounts for the smaller-sized slices, but it's also considered more flavorful and tender than the jamon Bellota, as it has more grease. Paleta Bellota comes from a special breed of pigs, prized for the exquisite flavor of their meat. Fermin uses only select animals, feeding them with a natural diet, and only lightly salting the meat during the curing process, resulting in a moist and rich ham. Perfect to pair with cheese on a meat board, or to make amazing sandwiches.
