The Paleta Iberico is the cured pork shoulder similar to jamon iberico or Iberian ham but made of the finest grain-fed Iberico pigs unlike acorn diet pigs.

Cured under the watchful eye of the experts at Pedro Lancho, Paleta Iberico has a similar flavour to the jamon (or back leg). However, as the shoulder portion is smaller in size, it requires less curing and hence available at a better price.

This paleta iberico is one of the finest Iberian pork products and one of the most praised gourmets around the world. It is delivered to you sliced by the producer so you may enjoy easier access to the delicious meat.
