Paleta Ibérica Shoulder

Experience the bold character of traditional Spanish charcutería with the Montaraz Paleta Ibérica de Cebo de Campo—a bone-in front leg (paleta) masterfully cured and hand-finished by one of Spain’s most respected jamón houses. Sourced from free-range Iberian pigs, this shoulder cut delivers a more intense, aromatic expression of Iberian flavor.

Raised in open pastures and fed a balanced diet of grains and wild herbs, each shoulder undergoes a natural curing process of up to 24 months in the mountain air of Extremadura. The result is a paleta with deep marbling, rich aroma, and a powerful, lingering flavor—an authentic taste of Spain’s artisanal heritage.

Product Highlights:

Cebo de Campo Certified – From free-range Iberian pigs raised in semi-wild conditions for exceptional texture and robust flavor development.
