100% Iberian acorn-fed shoulder ham – Martín Matas – Guijuelo PDO
The shoulder has an elongated shape with a black, worn hoof , indicating the pig's exercise in the pasture. When sliced, this cut dazzles with its deep purple color and pearly streaks of fat.
On the palate, the ham is remarkably juicy , thanks to its acorn -based diet . Its flavor evokes the dehesa (Iberian pastureland) with notes of nuts and a distinctive sweetness, the result of slow curing . The experience culminates in a long, pleasant aftertaste and a hint of wood.
