The Iberian field-fed shoulder, 50% Iberian breed, is a high-quality product made with the front limbs of free-range Iberian pigs raised in the dehesas. These animals feed on natural pastures and cereals, giving them a unique flavor and texture. The curing process of the shoulder lasts between 18 and 24 months, and is carried out in dryers and natural cellars that respect artisan tradition. The result is a shoulder with an intense aroma, deep red color, and a delicate and persistent flavor.
