Paleta de Bellota 100% Ibérica is one of the flagship products of Reserva Ibérica and a traditional Spanish cured shoulder produced from purebred 100% Iberian pigs. The animals are raised in free-range conditions on the dehesa pastures of Spain and feed primarily on acorns and natural grasses during the montanera season, a diet that contributes significantly to the product’s distinctive character.

Classified under the prestigious Black Label category, it represents the highest quality standard for Iberian pork products. The shoulder undergoes a carefully controlled curing process that allows it to develop a rich and complex flavor profile with notes of roasted nuts, cured meat, and subtle sweetness.

Its deep red color and fine marbling are characteristic of premium Ibérico products, while the fat melts easily at room temperature, enhancing both texture and aroma. Compared to jamón, paleta comes from the front leg and is often appreciated for its more intense and concentrated flavor.

Traditionally sliced into thin pieces, it is commonly enjoyed as part of tapas selections or paired with wine and artisanal cheeses. Paleta de Bellota 100% Ibérica reflects the craftsmanship and culinary heritage that have made Iberian cured meats among Spain’s most celebrated gastronomic specialties.
