Enjoying the César Nieto 50% Race Iberian Acorn-fed Ham Shoulder is to discover an intense flavor that is at the same time full of delicate nuances. This richness is the result of its long curing period of more than 24 months, and its natural diet based on acorns. Its characteristic color ranges from deep pink to pale pink with abundant fat streaks. The proportion of more than 56% of oleic acid in its fats makes it unctuous as well as soft, it “melts” on the palate. This makes the Acorn-fed Ham Shoulder 50% Iberian a particularly heart-healthy food. The Acorn-fed Iberian Ham Shoulder is obtained from selected crosses of the Iberian Pig, reaching a 50% of the Iberian Breed in its genetics. Our herds feed exclusively on grass and acorns in total freedom in the pastures of Salamanca and Extremadura. Its preparation, from the forelimbs of the animal, is completely traditional and natural salt from the Salinas de Torrevieja is used for the salting process. The unique microclimate of Guijuelo and its 1,000 meters above sea level allow less salt to be used in its production than in other areas. That is why our Paleta de Bellota Ibérica has a sweet first attack in the mouth, characteristic of cured products from Guijuelo.
