Altanza's 50% Raza Ibérica Cebo Iberian Shoulder is a perfect choice for those looking to experience authentic Iberian ham, but with a more subtle and delicate flavor profile. This shoulder, also known as Iberian shoulder, comes from Iberian pigs raised on selected farms in the Extremadura region, recognized for its rich tradition in the production of high-quality Iberian hams.

The Iberian pig in this shoulder is 50% Iberian, and has been fed with bait, composed of natural feed based on cereals and legumes. This type of diet, added to its physical activity and the genetics of the Iberian pig, results in meat with an unmatched flavor and a perfect balance of lean and infiltrated fat.

The Altanza shoulder has the white label of the Iberian Standard, a quality guarantee that certifies the purity of the breed and the animal's diet. With this label, you can be sure that you are purchasing a high-quality product, made according to the most rigorous industry standards.

Elaboration and Maturation:

The production of our Iberian shoulder of bait follows an artisanal process that has been passed down from generation to generation. After salting, the pieces are washed and moved to the post-salting chambers, where the salt is distributed evenly throughout the shoulder. Next, the piece undergoes a natural drying process in our dryers in the Sierra de Extremadura, where the climatic conditions provide a slow and natural curing.

The Altanza Iberian Cebo Shoulder is matured between 18 and 24 months. This prolonged curing period allows the shoulder to develop a deep and complex flavor, with nutty notes and a soft texture that melts in the mouth.
