Our impressive Gran Reserva ham shoulder comes from pure-bred pigs reared in the finest pastures and fed exclusively on cork oak acorns. In natural areas of more than 10,000m2 per animal, these pigs have roamed freely through the rich pastures of Guijuelo. Selected by hand by our master craftsmen and cured for a whole 36 months. Resulting in the juiciest and sweetest meat you will ever taste.
Around 5.5kg. of pure pleasure.
GMO and gluten free.
The ham shoulder is the front leg of the pig and contains slightly less meat than our hams. Considering they are smaller and weigh less the curing process is shorter. Salting while raw exaggerates the taste and its reddish tone highlights the exquisite flavours to come.
From our selection, we present to you four different categories of ham shoulder: Tradición, Sensación, Reserva and Gran Reserva.
Gran Reserva
In our Gran Reserva selection, you will find the most exclusive hams that come from pure-bred pigs reared in total freedom and fed on cork oak acorns. Curing times are: 36 months for ham and 36 months for the shoulder.
Upon cutting an intense bright red colour is revealed. The bouquet is unmistakable, intense and intriguing. To excite and delight your senses. Limited production.
Whole Pieces: If you are already a ham expert and have all the necessary tools, then there is nothing better than one of our whole pieces to enjoy a freshly cut slice of ham or shoulder. A whole ham weighs around 8 kg compared to a shoulder which weighs around 5.5 kg.
