Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder Ham 50% Iberian Breed +24 Months (Whole)

Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder Ham 50% Iberian Breed is a premium whole shoulder ham produced in Castile and León or Andalusia and naturally cured for over 24 months. This exceptional cut comes from the front leg of pigs with 50% Iberian genetics, raised in free-range conditions and fed exclusively on acorns and pasture.

Castile and León is one of the main production areas for acorn-fed Iberian ham thanks to its hot summers, mild winters, and vast pasturelands where pigs graze freely. This natural diet gives the ham its distinctive flavor, with an intense Iberian taste and fruity notes. The meat is deep dark red, while the fat ranges from white to pink and translucent, offering a smooth texture and a powerful aroma.

Andalusia provides ideal conditions due to its Mediterranean climate and wooded pastures rich in holm oaks and cork oaks, which supply acorns as the fundamental food source for Iberian pigs. The strong contrast between day and night temperatures and the dry winds promote a slow and natural curing process, enhancing marbling, aroma, and balance with just the right level of salt.

This shoulder ham is considered one of the finest products among acorn-fed Iberian hams and is valued worldwide as a true gastronomic treasure.
