Here we have the complement of pata negra ham, the paleta Ibérica of 100% ibérica breed bellota by Julián del Águila. The herd book and the traceability of a demanding quality department of Julián del Águila Ham guarantees the racial purity of this authentic paleta pata negra of bellota.
Since 1895 the jamón ibérico has been present in the Julián del Águila family in Salamanca. Today it is one of the most recognized and prestigious firms in this town, the nerve center of ham and sausage ibérico Salamanca.
Purebred bellota paleta ibérica contains more fat coating to allow for exceptional flavor. The paleta of bellota 100% breed ibérica contains less infiltrated fat than a shoulder ibérica of lower breed purity.
We remind you that the average yield of a 100% bellota paleta ibérica around 30% of its gross weight. Plus, a ham or bellota paleta will always have more fat/bacon topping than any other piece ibérica. The explanation is simple. It is the best way to give all the flavor to the piece and prevent it from drying out during the curing process.
