50% Iberian Acorn-fed Shoulder

50% Iberian Acorn-fed Shoulder. Bellota Iberian selection. From the finest Iberian pigs, acorn-fed and raised freely in the montanera system.

The 50% Iberian Bellota Shoulder from Hermanos Hoyos is crafted from pigs raised in Spain, a cross of Iberian and other select breeds. These pigs enjoy a balanced diet including acorns, which gives the ham its signature flavor and smoothness in every bite. The curing process is meticulous, with a maturation time exceeding two years, achieving a soft texture and just the right fat marbling to enhance its taste.

Each piece is carefully selected and undergoes a curing process that lasts more than three years, allowing for a deep and complex flavor to develop. The meat is lean and tender, with fat marbling that delivers a truly unique taste.

Minimum curing time: 32 months.

Price per kilo: €22

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Cover the sliced area with the shoulder’s own fat or a clean cloth to prevent drying.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and drafts, at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C.

Cut only what is needed for each use, keeping the rest covered to preserve flavor and texture.

Rotate the shoulder once one side is finished, to ensure even slicing on both sides.
