Description

WHAT IS BONELESS PALETA IBÉRICA DE CEBO?

Arturo Sánchez Boneless Paleta Ibérica de Cebo Shoulder Ham from Basco is produced from Ibérico pigs situated in Guijuelo, Spain.

This boneless shoulder ham, known in Spain as Paleta Ibérica has a rich nutty taste and can only derive from black pigs of the Iberian breed whose unique origin can be traced back through the ages. This ancient breed possesses many qualities, including the capacity to accumulate fat between the muscular fibres. This is what gives the ham its unique white streaks!

The main feature that distinguishes Ibérico from the rest of cured hams is the purity of the breed. The pigs are allowed to freely move around extensive wooded pastures known as Dehesas. At least a hectare of healthy pasture is needed to raise a single pig and all of the animals are fed on a diet of fresh grass quality acorns from Holm and Cork Oak meadows which gives the meat its exquisite taste and aroma.

WHAT IS PALETA IBÉRICA?

Paleta is the cured front shoulder ham. Because it is smaller, it cures much more quickly and has less time to age than a larger jamon (about two years, vs. three to four years for a ham).

Our Arturo Sánchez Boneless Ibérico Cebo Shoulder average weight 2.5Kg making it the perfect party feature. The size also makes this shoulder ideal for home consumption when you don’t want a larger ham to carve.

Cured for over two years, this shoulder ham (paleta ibérica) comes from acorn-fed, free range, Ibérico pork, only found in the Southwest region of Spain. The rich acorn diet and outdoor exercise marble the meat, for a succulent ham that melts in your mouth.

HOW DO I PREPARE MY ARTURO SÁNCHEZ BONELESS IBÉRICO DE CEBO SHOULDER?

Sliced thinly, Ibérico ham glistens at room temperature and provides an unparalleled rich nutty flavour and tender texture. Because whole hams continue to cure until you cut into them, you can hang it for up to 12 months before its first use and it will only get better with time.

This boneless paleta ibérica is ready to slice either by hand or with a meat slicer.
