Our Bone-In Ibérico Ham Shoulder Bellota Pata Negra by Fermin is an exceptional product originating from the front leg of free-range, 100% Iberian pigs, a cherished native breed from Spain renowned for its superior quality. During the Montanera season, from October to February, these pigs undergo a remarkable transformation, doubling their weight as they feast on a diet rich in acorns and grass in the dehesa, resulting in the finest and most prestigious shoulder in the world.
Cured for a minimum of 26 months using artisanal methods in La Alberca, Spain, a Natural Reserve declared a World Heritage site, this Bellota Ham Shoulder embodies the epitome of gourmet excellence.
A masterpiece of Spanish cured meats, it is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
What Do I Need for Slicing?
Despite what you may think, slicing a ham leg is not difficult. All you need is a ham holder, a special ham carving knife, and a bit of practice, that's it!
Shoulder vs Ham
The Shoulder comes from the front leg of the pig. It is smaller, with less fat and more bone. Its flavor is less juicy but more intense compared to the ham, which comes from the hind leg.
Origin: La Alberca (Salamanca), Spain
Size: It can vary considerably and the average size is about 4.5 kg/10 lb
Please note that all ham legs have a waste percentage of 50% to 60% due to the bone and fat.
