At Alba Ibérico, we take care of every detail — from slicing and packaging to shipping and presentation — ensuring a complete gourmet experience delivered straight to your table.

Authenticity of the ibérico breed

The Maldonado Sliced Shoulder comes exclusively from 100% Ibérico pigs raised freely in the dehesas of Extremadura. The rich marbling of fat, high in oleic acid, gives it juiciness and a delicate, lingering flavour, with characteristic notes of acorns and nuts.

Concentrated artisanal curing

After more than 24 months of natural curing in cellars, the shoulder develops a concentrated aroma and a more intense flavour than the ham, while retaining a juicy and balanced texture. Hand-slicing respects the grain of the meat, allowing each slice to release its full bouquet when served at room temperature.
