A category that includes both the 50% Iberian Bellota Shoulder and the 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder, both renowned for their supreme quality and exceptional flavor. Originating from the renowned regions of Jabugo and Extremadura, these shoulders represent the best of Spanish gastronomic tradition.
The 50% Iberian Bellota Shoulder offers a perfect balance between quality and price, making it accessible without compromising flavor. Raised in the Spanish dehesas, these Iberian pigs are fed a diet rich in acorns during the montanera, directly influencing the juiciness and aroma of the shoulder. Cured for at least 24 months, each slice reveals a smooth texture and a slightly sweet flavor that delights the palate.
On the other hand, the 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder is the ultimate expression of quality and exclusivity. Sourced from purebred pigs, this shoulder benefits from a diet based solely on acorns, resulting in more marbled meat and an intense flavor highly appreciated by connoisseurs. The 24-month curing in natural cellars perfects its texture and enhances its rich nuances, offering a product of unmatched quality and depth of flavor.
Both options are ideal for special celebrations, as an exceptional gift, or simply to enjoy a gourmet moment at home. But how do we choose one over the other? The choice will depend on your personal preferences and the value you place on the quality, flavor, and texture of the meat. If you seek the ultimate expression of flavor and are willing to invest more in a superior culinary experience, the 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder is the ideal choice. However, if you seek a balance between cost and quality, a 50% Iberian Bellota Shoulder can offer an excellent experience at a more accessible price.
Both options represent the high standard of quality of Iberian products and provide an exquisite culinary experience, each in its style.
It is recommended to serve them in thin slices to fully appreciate their texture and flavor, accompanied by a good wine, breadsticks, and a bit of extra virgin olive oil. A good pairing with this product can take you to another sensory level. A delight in which we are leaders and originators in our country.
