 5-6kg 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 whole shoulder format offers an authentic Spanish carving experience, perfect for special occasions, celebrations or those who appreciate the finest gourmet products.

Before you buy

It is important to understand Whole Iberico Hams when purchasing one. Ham shoulders generally yield 40%. That means you might expect to get 1.7 to 2 Kg. of ham slices out of this leg if sliced properly. Everything else is fat and bones. Once your ham arrives, remove all the packaging and keep it at room temperature, it will last for another year! Once open, it will be good for another 45 days or so before it becomes drier. Just cover the surface with cling film when not in use. I hope this helps!
