Paleta de bellota iberica 75% razza iberica · D.O. Guijuelo · Hernández Jiménez

The 75% Iberian-breed Acorn Shoulder Ham D.O. Guijuelo has a juicy yet tender texture and a special sweet-savoury flavour evoking Guijuelo's oak fields. From the foreleg of the Iberian pig, acorn- and pasture-fed in the dehesa during the montanera (October to March). Being smaller and more exercised, its meat is juicier and more intense than the leg.

Transparency note: the 75% breed comes from 100% Iberian sows and 100% Iberian × 100% Duroc boars, all studbook-registered.
