The select gastronomic treasures of our Gran Reserva range are now available in a boned shoulder format. Our Gran Reserva boned ham shoulder comes from pure-bred pigs reared in areas of more than 10,000 m2 per animal, only 0.25% of all Spanish pigs are reared in such conditions. Fed exclusively on the fruits of the cork and holm oak trees, the traditional authentic taste of Spain is perfectly presented in this magnificent selection.
Cured for 36 months, and then boned, this exclusive and delicious piece weighs around 2.5 kg.
GMO and gluten free.
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.
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.
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.
