100% Iberian acorn-fed shoulder ham – Dehesa Maladúa – Jabugo PDO
Dehesa Maladúa's 100% Iberian acorn-fed shoulder ham is an exceptional product from pigs raised free-range in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Biosphere Reserve . These pigs are 100% Iberian and feed exclusively on acorns during the montanera season, resulting in superior quality meat.
The natural diet of the ham in the dehesa, with acorns and grasses, is key to the unmistakable flavor and aroma of this shoulder ham. The fat infiltrates the muscle , making each slice very juicy and with a characteristic sheen.
The curing process is artisanal and natural , without additives. It takes place in drying sheds and cellars in Jabugo, taking advantage of the area's microclimate. This slow curing allows the ham to develop its complex flavor and perfect texture.
The result is a gourmet palette , with an intense color and a deep aroma. Each bite is a testament to the tradition and care with which it is crafted, offering a unique gastronomic experience.
