Paleta (Dry Cured Shoulder) Iberico (Black Iberian Pigs) de Bellota (Acorns).
Beautifully marbled shoulder meat that has been deboned and cleaned. Due to the muscle structure and a higher concentration of fat, Paleta has a more intense savoury flavour than the Jamon.
By law, Paleta Iberico de Bellota must be aged for a minimum of 24 months, however due to the size of their pigs, Blazquez age the shoulders for up to 30 months.
With a smaller size and lower price, Paleta is a great way to introduce your clientele to the world of high quality Bellota. This should be your go-to for serving on sandwiches and even shaved over pizza.
Additionally, Blazquez products have virtually no wastage. Dice any leftover paleta and use as a flavourful garnish, put into croquettes, through pasta - you name it. A 10g portion alongside fish, chicken or quail will provide an unmatched kick of flavour. Pair with a great champagne or sherry.
