Bone-In Serrano Ham Shoulder by Fermin

DESCRIPTION

The Whole Serrano Bone-In Ham Shoulder by Fermin is crafted with care from the finest pork and cured using time-honored methods to achieve its authentic and delicious taste. 

Sourced from pigs raised in Salamanca (Spain), the unique conditions of the region results in a superior product. These pigs, older, heavier, and fattier than those from North Europe, ensure a more complex and flavorful experience for you.

Using artisanal methods and cured for a minimum of 18 months, each slice of our Paleta Serrana showcases the rich marbling and intense flavor indicative of authentic Spanish cuisine. Whether for casual gatherings or elegant affairs, this delicacy adds a touch of Mediterranean flair to any occasion.

Ham Shoulder (Paleta) vs Jamón Serrano

The Serrano shoulder is the front leg of the pig. It is smaller, with less fat and more bone. Its flavor is less juicy but more intense.

What do I need for slicing?

Despite what you might think, slicing a ham leg is not difficult. All you need is a ham holder or jamonero, a special ham slicing knife, and a bit of practice, that's it!

How to eat the Paleta Serrana?

Perfect to enjoy by itself, on a Spanish charcuterie board, tapa or to add into any breakfast, lunch or dinner recipe. Pairs great with a Spanish beer, Albariño wine and Ribera del Duero or Rioja red wines.
