100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder – Julián Becerro

100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder – Julián Becerro – DO Guijuelo

The 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder – Julián Becerro is a world-renowned gourmet product from Salamanca. It comes from Iberian pigs raised free-range in the pastures of Salamanca, feeding only on acorns during the montanera (mountain) period. This natural diet is key to its exceptional flavor and texture.

At Julián Becerro, we select the best pigs and apply a slow, natural curing process, following family tradition. Each 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder – Julián Becerro is an immersion in the gastronomic richness of Salamanca, highlighted by its infiltrated fat and unmistakable aroma.

Key Features:

• Iberian Breed: Its special genetics allow for a unique fat infiltration, which provides juiciness and aroma.
• Feeding: Acorns are crucial during the montanera (free-range) period. Their oleic acids infiltrate the meat, giving it a characteristic flavor and health benefits.
• Curing: The process is slow and meticulous, carried out in natural cellars. Salamanca’s climate and our experience guarantee superior quality.
• Flavor and Texture: It has an intense and complex flavor, with notes of acorns and wild herbs. The texture is soft, with a fat that melts in the mouth.
• Origin: The Guijuelo Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), where these pigs are raised, ensures their quality and authenticity.
