100% Iberian Acorn-fed Shoulder Ham – Martín Matas – DO Guijuelo
The shoulder ham exhibits an elongated shape with a black and worn hoof, indicating the pig’s exercise in the dehesa. When sliced, this piece dazzles with its intense purple color and streaks of pearly fat.
On the palate, the shoulder ham is notably juicy, thanks to its acorn diet. Its flavor transports you to the dehesa with notes of nuts and a particular sweetness, the result of a slow curing process. The experience culminates with a long, pleasant aftertaste and a hint of wood.
