PALETA DE BELLOTA IBÉRICA CASTANOBLE Iberian-ham shoulder
The Paleta de Bellota Ibérica Castanoble is a remarkable product hailing from the León region of Spain, weighing in at a generous 5 kg. This Iberian shoulder ham is crafted from pigs that are 50% Iberian breed and are exclusively fed on acorns, ensuring a rich and authentic flavor. With a meticulous maturation process of 30 months, this paleta embodies the essence of traditional Spanish curing techniques.
The visual appeal of this exquisite paleta is striking. Its meat exhibits a distinct color gradient ranging from intense purple-red in the most cured sections to a softer pink in the less cured areas. The marbling is a beautiful pearlescent white, with a shiny fat, and upon slicing, you may notice small white specks, known as tyrosine crystals. These crystals are a hallmark of slow curing and low salinity, indicative of the high-quality craftsmanship behind this product.
As you bring this paleta closer, a profound and intense aroma envelops you, reminiscent of the natural treasures found in the dehesa—grassy notes intertwined with the essence of acorns, creating a symphony of scents that tantalize the senses.
The texture varies throughout the cut; the main pieces present a firm, juicy, and uniform texture, while the knuckle offers a more fibrous and compact mouthfeel. Each slice melts beautifully in your mouth, revealing a delicate and subtly salty flavor profile that captures the essence of acorns, toasted notes, and the freshness imparted by the unique dehesa diet. This paleta concludes with a long and persistent finish, leaving a lasting impression on your palate.
Crafted through natural drying methods that take advantage of the unique climate of the region, this paleta is a product of careful selection and years of expertise. With no allergens present, it is a safe choice for a wide array of culinary enthusiasts.
Recognized with the "Tierra de Sabor" quality mark, this paleta embodies the best of Spanish gastronomy, making it an unforgettable addition to any gourmet collection. Treat yourself to the unmatched taste and aroma of the Paleta de Bellota Ibérica Castanoble, and elevate your culinary experience!
