The black seal placed on the ham indicates that you are facing a 100% Iberian acorn-fed shoulder, classified according to the new Iberian regulations, and that is something that very few shoulders can say.
When you receive it, you will find a juicy and healthy flavor obtained thanks to its slow curing process, not less than 2 years, and its intense red color, with noticeable fat infiltration. And all of this, with a more intense and powerful flavor than that of ham, so that you only say... Oh!
What is the shoulder?
The shoulder is the front legs (or hams) of the pig. The shoulder is a smaller piece and has a lower yield than the ham (hence why it is cheaper) but that does not mean its flavor is inferior. In fact, the shoulder tends to be juicier than ham, due to its higher fat content. But that's for you to decide.

Traceability?
It's very simple: traceability is a series of procedures that allow us to follow the evolution process of a product at each of its stages. That is to say, at Cerdoh! we know what you are eating and in all our products, we can tell you the curing year and the way this product was cured. This allows us, for example, to tell you that we are acorn-fed Iberians from head to tail. Word of Cerdoh!
How do you eat this?
You can pair it with a good aged or reserve red wine. And even if you want to innovate a little, try using a well-chilled dry white wine. We do not recommend using fruity or sweet wines: They mask the flavor of the shoulder and will not allow you to enjoy the Iberian flavors that we propose.
