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

The Iberian pig of this shoulder is 50% Iberian breed, and has been fed with fattening, consisting of natural feed based on cereals and legumes. This type of feed, together with its physical activity and the genetics of the Iberian pig, results in meat with an unequalled flavor and a perfect balance of lean and infiltrated fat.

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

Elaboration and maturation:

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

The Altanza Iberian cebo de cebo shoulder is matured for between 18 and 24 months. This extended curing period allows the shoulder to develop a deep and complex flavor, with nutty notes and a smooth texture that melts in the mouth.

Tasting Notes:

Altanza's Paletilla Ibérica de Cebo 50% Raza Ibérica has a cherry red hue with marbled fat that gives it a marbled appearance. When cut, it gives off a soft and persistent aroma that invites tasting. In the mouth, it is juicy and slightly salty, with nutty notes and a long-lasting aftertaste that leaves a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.

Recommended Use:

For maximum enjoyment of this Iberian cebo shoulder, we recommend cutting thin slices at room temperature. Serve the shoulder on a flat plate and let it rest for a few minutes before tasting so that the aromas and flavors intensify.
