100% Acorn-Fed Iberian Shoulder Ham Navarretinto “Pata Negra”
It comes from animals over 22 months old and weighing 160 kilos. The shoulder hams are simply seasoned with sea salt and, after a brief salting period, first move to the drying room and later to the cellar. In total, more than 24 months of curing and maturation, during which, in addition to chemical changes and the formation of aromatic compounds, there is a loss of around 35% of their fresh weight.
Black hoof, synonymous with the authenticity of their genetics, and a slender shank are characteristic of 100% acorn-fed Iberian hams. Among their attributes are the “flavour” (combined aroma, taste, and texture), the glossy lean meat, and the fluidity of the fat, which are unmistakable and, when tasted, create a series of sensory perceptions that awaken the senses, enhancing their unsurpassed “bouquet”.
These are 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Shoulder Hams fully certified by accredited certification bodies according to the Iberian Standard set out in Royal Decree 4/2014.
