Pure Iberico paleta bellota Julián Martín Reserva

Description:

Pure pleasure to the senses. This artisan delicacy has been produced in the heart of Guijuelo by the third generation of the same family. The shoulder of 100% Iberian pig -usually it is only 75%-, fed in the meadows with acorn (´bellota´ in Spanish) and herbs, comes from the animal´s front quarters. It retains all the qualities of a good ham, but as it is a smaller and more exercised part of the animal, its meat is even more succulent. This ham has a minimum curing period of 24 months, and it should be carved with great care in thin slices.

For detailed information about Spanish Ham please see our Spanish Ham Guide.

The ham comes wrapped in a cloth cover, inside a cardoard box. The ham stand shown in the picture is not included.
