100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder – Alba Romero – DO Jabugo
The 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder – Alba Romero is an exceptional product that represents the tradition and quality of Iberian ham. It comes from 100% Iberian pigs, raised free-range in the pastures and fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera (free-range) period. This natural diet is key for the meat to acquire its characteristic flavor, aroma, and juicy texture with infiltrated fat.
The production and curing process of each Alba Romero shoulder follows artisanal methods. It is carried out naturally in drying sheds and cellars, where time and optimal environmental conditions transform the piece. Curing, which typically lasts between 20 and 30 months, is essential for the full development of its organoleptic qualities.
Each slice of this shoulder is an experience for the palate. Its intense reddish color, glossy fat marbling, and deep aroma evoke the dehesa (pasture). On the palate, it offers a balanced, persistent, and delicately melting flavor. It is, without a doubt, a perfect choice for those seeking the authentic quality of the acorn-fed Iberian shoulder.
