Sliced Paleta de Bellota Iberico

Our Black Label Iberico de Bellota is cured pork shoulder - paleta in Spanish - from the front of the pig instead of the hind leg. And not just any pig, but pure-bred Iberian hogs that live free-range on the Dehesa - an ecologically important forest system unique to the southwestern Iberian Peninsula. As they roam the pastures and oak groves, these small native hogs devour acorns that fall in season. This unique diet contributes to the legendary flavor of the ham, and the monounsaturated fatty acid profile of the fat, which is associated with balancing cholesterol. These cured pork shoulders were known as a delicacy even in the days of the Roman Empire, and they are still handcrafted by traditional methods, making Iberico one of the most sought-after types of charcuterie in the world. Using only sea salt, our fourth-generation ham producers cure paletas in the fresh, clean air of the Guadarrama Mountains. Their traditional techniques result in a deep-red aromatic paleta with nutty, long-lasting flavor and creamy, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Enjoy our conveniently sliced Iberico de Bellota alone, or add it to a board with other charcuterie, manchego cheese, olives, and your favorite Spanish wine.
