The ham shoulder
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 y Gran Reserva.
The preparation of our ham
Once the pig is reared during the acorn season on the finest pasture lands in Spain between Guijuelo and Ciudad Rodrigo the careful hand crafting of each piece begins. The key phases of preparation of our Don Cala hams are the salting, washing, natural drying and finally the curing in our Salamanca cellars.
The meticulous selection of each piece, family knowledge and curing time, are all essential elements to guarantee the best quality possible.
Tradición
Our first selection comes from pigs that are reared in the finest pastures and nourished by the natural resources of an incomparable ecosystem. Curing times are: 26 months for ham and 18 months for the shoulder.
Boneless: Here at Don Cala you can also buy our hams and shoulders already boned by our master craftsmen. A boneless ham weighs around 4.5 kg compared to a boneless shoulder which is around 2.5 kg. You simply slice it to whichever thickness you prefer and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
Here at Don Cala, we want you to enjoy our Spanish artisan products in all their glory, that’s why we offer you various alternatives so you can choose which gastronomic experience suits you best.
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.
Sliced: Our sliced hams and shoulders come in vacuum packed sachets and weigh 80 grams. The perfect amount to eat before it can begin to dry out. Simply open and serve, to enjoy the unique, fresh and exquisite taste of Guijuelo directly to your table.
