Pata Negra Bellota Iberian Shoulder

Iberian shoulder - Pata Negra shoulder - Bellota shoulder

Iberian shoulder is an excellent choice if you're looking for something smaller than Iberian ham. A shoulder allows us to treat ourselves at a more affordable price and with the same quality.

However, shoulders have more weight when cut than ham. Shoulders have a very high fat content.

The amount of fat in shoulders is a quality characteristic, not a defect. This makes for a very good taste and a curing period of around 24 months.

We advise you not to remove all the fat when cutting and to cut meat with fat, which is very good and will give each slice its taste.

Each of our shoulders has a strap that guarantees the quality of the shoulder you buy.

To guide you in your choice of shoulder, we'll show you the differences.
