>> Why buying paleta iberica de cebo campo?

According to Spanish law, the Paleta iberica de cebo campo could be identified by its green label.

The paleta iberica de cebo campo is produced from Iberian pigs born from Iberian breed pigs crossed with Duroc breed pigs.

These pigs are fed with natural grasses and some fallen acorns that they could find in Andalucía or Extremadura dehesas, besides their diet sometimes could include additional feed.

These Iberian pigs live in freedom in the Spanish fields, that´s why their legs have the classical slender shape, because the pigs are in good shape, they are continuously moving around the fields and aren´t just in a stable.

The paleta iberica de cebo campo presents infiltrated grasses which empower its taste although not as intense as in paleta iberica de bellota, but on the other hand their price is lower.

>> Why buying paleta iberica de bellota?

The paleta iberica de bellota (acorn-fed ham) is the best paleta of our culture and gastronomy. And among the acorn-fed paleta, the best ones are the paleta iberico 100% Iberian breed, these hams are easily identified by their black labels and ribbons.

The paleta iberica de bellota with lower % of Iberian breed have red labels and ribbons.

Independently of the percentage of Iberian breed, the Iberian pigs that produce the paleta de bellota are fed with natural grasses and with acorn fallen in the dehesas during the montanera, the period of time that goes from approx. November to February, which is when pigs gain weight.

These pigs live in freedom in the dehesas, and that´s why their legs are so slender, because they are moving all the way looking for acorns. Due to this continuous physical activity the meat of the paleta has a dark red color and presents infiltrated fat which empowers even more its delicious taste.

>> What´s best buying, a whole bone-in paleta iberica or a sliced paleta iberica?

Buying a whole bone-in paleta ibérica or sliced paleta iberica depends on the time you thinks it´s going to take you eat it but also if you like to slice the paleta  or not.

Slicing a whole bone-in paleta iberica demands a Little effort from your side, but it´s also true that as soon as you start slicing the paleta, immediately your friends and family come around you to see “your performance” although they mainly join you to start tasting it but also to bring you some wine glass or beer and even sometimes they help you!.

Buying sliced paleta iberica artisanal sliced by the maestros is a very intelligent option, because the paleta  is perfectly sliced and packaged in 100 grams envelops and it´s always ready to be served and tasted. You simply have to open the packs 30 min before enjoying the paleta, and leaving them on a plate at room temperature to fully taste its flavor and aroma.

A tip that may be could help you is that when you take out the paleta from the refrigerator it could be too cold to be served, we recommend you place some water drops in the dish, placed it only with the drops in the microwave to heat the dish and once it’s out of the microwave serve the paleta in the dish, so it won´t be so cold, but if you can wait those 20-30 min before serving it will be even better.

>> What´s best buying a paleta iberica or a jamon iberico?

Buying jamon ibérico or paleta ibérica depends on the time we expect to eat it but also on the budget.

A jamón ibérico weights around 7 - 8 kilos while a paleta ibérica weights approx. 4 -5 kilos, so on total a jamon iberico is more expensive than a same quality paleta, because the difference in weight.

The jamon ibérico correspond to the rear legs of the pigs while paleta ibérica come from the front legs.

Regarding their quality, the jamon ibérico and the paleta ibérica have exactly the same quality, there´s no difference at all.

If you don´t eat very often the ham, then you rather buy a paleta ibérica, otherwise if you buy a jamon, with time, it will become dry and a little too hard, if so, we recommend you to buy a paleta.

But if you are considering buying sliced ham then you don´t have to worry for its conservation, you simply place it in the refrigerator, not the freezer.

It´s true that some people say that buying a jamon ibérico or paleta ibérica only depends on the time it´s going to take us eat it to avoid it becoming too dry and hard, because taste, flavor and quality are identical.

Nevertheless, we are sure you will make the right decision!
