5-6kg 100% Iberica Paleta de Bellota Pata Negra From Guijuelo

from Iberico Pigs Fed with Acorns

Among Spain’s finest culinary traditions, 100% Iberico Bellota ham stands as one of the most celebrated examples of artisanal curing expertise. This Iberico Ham Shoulder comes from pure Iberico pigs raised free-range in the Spanish dehesa — a unique landscape of oak woodlands where animals roam naturally during the montanera season and feed on acorns. This traditional lifestyle contributes to the distinctive marbling, texture and flavour that define authentic Iberico Bellota ham. Classified as Black Label, the highest Iberico quality category, this ham guarantees 100% Iberico breed purity together with controlled feeding and production standards under official Spanish regulations. A slow curing process of more than 24 months allows the ham to gradually develop its characteristic aroma, deep colour and elegant flavour profile. The result is a product with exceptional depth, silky texture and a refined, persistent finish. The traditional whole shoulder format offers the authentic Spanish carving experience at home, making it ideal for celebrations, entertaining, gourmet occasions or long-term enjoyment slice by slice. Quality and traceability are independently verified by CERTICALIDAD (141240002), ensuring compliance with official Spanish Iberico production standards.

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!
