Indulge in the artistry of Spanish culinary tradition with the Ibérico de Bellota Bone-In Shoulder. Each paper-thin slice offers a taste of perfection, rich in complexity and fleetingly delicious. Mount your Montaraz UNICO Bellota paleta in a ham holder and embrace the celebration of flavors anytime.
During the ‘montanera’ season, Ibérico pigs roam freely through the dehesa, feeding on an abundance of sweet acorns. This rich diet and natural lifestyle imbue the ham with beneficial fats that elevate its taste to extraordinary heights.
The paleta, being smaller than the jamón, cures more swiftly, making it a centerpiece of flavor. While it offers an exceptional taste, carving can be a delightful challenge, reserved for those who appreciate tradition. However, the pinnacle of taste is achieved with the longer-aged jamón.
Since 1890, Montaraz has mastered the craft of curing Ibérico hams. With four generations of family expertise, each jamón is crafted from 100% pure-breed, acorn-fed Ibérico pigs. Montaraz proudly carries the DOP Extremadura designation, ensuring quality through independent inspection.
Position your Paleta Ibérico de Bellota in a ham holder for precise and safe slicing. Allow it to reach room temperature to unlock its ultimate flavor.
