2.5kg Boneless 100% Iberica Paleta de Bellota Pata Negra From Andalucia
from Iberico Pigs Fed with Acorns and 100% Natural Curation Process
In Spain, 100% Iberico Bellota ham represents the pinnacle of traditional curing craftsmanship — a product shaped by nature, time and heritage. This Iberico Ham Shoulder comes from pure Iberico pigs raised free-range in the Spanish dehesa, a unique ecosystem of oak forests. During the montanera season, the animals feed naturally on acorns, which gives the meat its distinctive marbling, depth of flavour and unmistakable character. Classified as Black Label, the highest Iberico quality standard, this ham guarantees breed purity, natural feeding and strict production controls. Cured naturally for over 24 months, it develops extraordinary complexity — a deep aroma, intense colour and a silky, delicate texture with a long, refined finish. Made using only Iberico pork and sea salt, it contains no additives or preservatives. Each piece reflects patience, expertise and respect for tradition. The boneless format makes slicing effortless, ideal for those who want convenience without sacrificing authenticity.

Before you buy
Once your ham arrives, put if flat onto a chopping board and cut it in 4 pieces with a cross like cut. Wrap in cling film 3 of the pieces and keep them in the refrigerator for future use. The one at hand, trim some of the fat away and thin slice to enjoy. Keep this one at room temperature to maximize flavour. I hope this helps!

I followed the instructions to quarter the shoulder and store in fridge. I was not expecting the greasy/oily residue over the ham when removed from packaging, but washed this off and was fine.
I think carving a quarter boneless ham is perhaps more tricky/difficult than a whole leg, as there is less to work with and stability on work top can be tricky.
All that said, I demolished the 1st quarter in a single afternoon. The second quarter I managed to make last a weekend.The other two quarters are still in the fridge but a similar fate awaits.
This is not the best Iberico I have eaten, but it is delicious and I would recommend. It does require a very sharp knife with good skills, as has to be carved quite thinly, but definitely worth it if you can stomach the price!
I will purchase a different variety next time around so I can make a comparison in flavour, but would definitely buy this one again.

Absolutely brilliant product – amazing taste, easy to cut, easy to store. I bought this as I didn’t want to tackle a full leg this time. I will definitely be buying again. The package comes with a layer of soft liquid fat, which doesn’t look very nice but rinses off easily with warm water. Cut the ham into four pieces, wrapped them in cling film and stored them in the fridge. It is going to be difficult keeping away from the fridge!

Great taste and texture – dark and rich. Keeping it in 4 quarters is useful advice – thank you. It’s much easier to work with a boneless shouder.
