100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder Ham (Bellota) – Whole Piece ~5–5.5kg | Sánchez Alcaraz
An authentic and intense expression of Iberian tradition at its highest level.
This 100% Iberian acorn-fed shoulder ham (paleta) comes from free-range Iberian pigs, raised in the dehesas of Extremadura and finished exclusively on acorns during the montanera, resulting in a rich, juicy and deeply aromatic flavor.
