Iberico de Pura Bellota Ham Paleta (Shoulder), Bone In 10-16 Pounds

Description

CyberCucina has partnered with one of the top producers of Ibérico ham in Spain to bring you purebred Ibérico ham under the Dehesa Cordobesa® label. The purebred pigs are all born and raised by their farmers. COVAP raises mainly 100% purebred Ibérico pigs and uses only 100% purebred pigs to produce Dehesa Cordobesa® products. The pigs roam on almost one million acres of Dehesa (acorn tree forest) in the Valley of the Pedroches in the province of Córdoba, Spain. Each pig has almost 2 acres to itself and feasts on acorns from Encina Oak trees, which are considered to be the sweetest in Spain. All Dehesa Cordobesa® products are Puro de Bellota, which means the 100% purebred Ibérico pigs finish their lives eating acorns until they reach the correct weight for slaughter (min 3-4 months). The fat in the meat is high in oleic acid and Omega-3 fatty acids, both thought to help decrease bad cholesterol. This bone in paleta, or shoulder cut, should be sliced paper thin by using a thin knife and one of our ham holders (called a Jamonera). It can be stored at room temperature, covered with a cloth to prevent excessive drying. Each Iberico de Pura Bellota Ham Bone In Paleta (Shoulder) will vary in weight and be approximately 10-16 pounds.
