959 100% Iberian Acorn-fed Shoulder Ham

959 Shoulder Ham

The 100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed ‘Paleta 959’ is a gourmet jewel from the foreleg of purebred Ibérico pigs raised free-range in the dehesa and fed on acorns and pasture during the montanera season. Naturally cured for 18–30 months, it concentrates an intense depth of flavour with a fine marbling that melts on the palate, delivering a firm yet balanced texture and a distinctive Jabugo bouquet.

Artisanal tradition 959 Ibérico in every bite

Crafted by master ham curers who harness Jabugo’s unique microclimate, the Paleta 959 stands out for its slow, even maturation. The result is a black-label piece with intense aromas, nutty notes and a long, elegant finish. Each slice combines power and delicacy, making it one of the great benchmarks of the Ibérico tradition.
