Paleta de Bellota Ibérica 75% Raza Ibérica Olalla

Experience gastronomic excellence with the Olalla 75% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder (Paleta). Meticulously selected, this cut encapsulates the essence of the Iberian pasture, offering a sensory experience that honors our house's artisanal tradition.

Raised free-range and fed exclusively on acorns during the fattening period (montanera), our Iberian pigs (75% genetic purity) develop a silky fat marbling. This fat, rich in oleic acid, is the key to its melting texture and unmistakable aromatic profile.

The Alchemy of Curing: Flavor and Persistence

The secret to this shoulder lies in its maturation time. Each piece rests in our natural curing cellars in Santa Olalla del Cala, a slow and controlled process lasting between 24 and 32 months. This time is crucial for the acorn aromas to deeply integrate into the meat, resulting in a balanced flavor and a persistent finish on the palate.

This 75% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder is the perfect choice for professionals and gourmands seeking the highest expression of Iberian ham without sacrificing guaranteed traceability and consistency.
