This 6-pound boneless ham shoulder; is made from 100% free-range dry-cured Iberico Pork! Considered by many to be the finest pork in the world, the Iberico hog offers a singularly delicious flavor thanks to its unique lifestyle. Given free range to graze on the native grasses of the Iberian coastline and feast on the acorns that blanket the forest floor, the hogs produce a ham with a bold color, intense aroma, and a complex, buttery flavor profile. Rich on the palate, this memorable pork enhances everything it’s paired with.
Sourced from the shoulder of the Pata Negra hog during the Montanera season, which spans October-February. This portion comes from the front legs of the pig; while the more familiar "ham" comes from the hind legs. Cured for 20 months using the same artisanal methods passed down for generations: the finished product is a deeply, flavorful air-cured pork.
Boneless, it’s easy to slice and dice this tasty shoulder. Aromatic and slightly sweet, you get to enjoy every last morsel with no fussy deboning process and absolutely no waste. Slice thinly for presentation on your next charcuterie board, or pile thick slices onto sandwiches. Roughly cube and add to soups and sauces, or mince finely for a memorable pork ragu. The sky's the limit when it comes to this tasty Paleta Iberica Ham!
