Cinco Jotas Acorn-fed 100% Ibérico Shoulder Ham (Whole Shoulder Bone-in ham) 9-12 lb
Acorn-fed, dry-cured 100% ibérico ham (shoulder).
Cinco Jotas shoulder ham comes only from pure-bred ibérico pigs raised free range in the scenic dehesas of southwest Spain. It takes about two years for the 100% ibérico pig to reach maturity, and some more years are required to cure the jamón in the bodegas (curing cellars).
This shoulder of the pig (front leg), sometimes referred to as "shoulder ham" and called paleta in Spanish, is a true Iberian delicacy. This delicious cut has plenty of meat and makes an ideal gift for "foodie" friends or simply to have at home for indulgent personal consumption.

PAIRING AND RECIPES
Pairing the right drink with your pre-sliced Cinco Jotas acorn-fed 100% ibérico shoulder ham depends on your mood and personal taste. A nice glass of red wine, always works but you may want to try a sherry from Andalusia Spain, a sparkling wine such as cava or champagne.
The Spanish love to appreciate their jamón as tapas, a small snack or appetizer. Why not try with some strips of acorn-fed ibérico shoulder ham together with some fresh melon, or with white asparagus spears. You could also try the shoulder ham crumbled up on a fresh spinach salad or in a typical roasted tomato Salmorejo soup.
