Jamon (gammon) & Paleta (shoulder ham)
The main difference between paleta (shoulder ham) and jamon (gammon) is in weight and ripening time. Furthermore, these two products come from the same Iberico pig and were raised on the same diet and in the same living conditions. The ripening/drying time of the Jamon is longer than that of a Paleta. A Jamon weighs between 7.5 and 9.5 kg and the Paleta between 4 and 6 kg. Due to the Paleta's smaller size, the meat is closer to the bone. As a result, the Iberico shoulder ham is known for a more intense and riper taste.
Our Jamones normally weigh between 8 and 8.5 kg and a Paleta usually weighs between 5 and 5.5 kg. If you only eat a plate of Iberico ham with 1 or 2 people every now and then, it is advisable to choose a Paleta. To preserve the best quality, you want to use up the Jamon or Paleta within 3 weeks after cutting.

WHAT TYPES OF IBERICO HAM ARE THERE?
The different types of Iberian ham are determined, among other things, by the percentage of Iberian variety, but especially by the diet and ripening time. As for feed, Iberian ham of the Iberian breed can be called "Iberian cebo", "Iberian cebo de campo" or "Iberian bellota".
The ' cebo ibérico ' (Tradición) is fed exclusively with 'cebo' (feed and grains). The ' cebo de campo ibérico ' (Sensación) receives a combination of wild fruits, herbs, grains and feed. And the ' bellota ibérico ' (Reserva) (acorn-fed ham) is fed with acorns and other wild fruits during its free life in the pastures, in what is called the "la Montanera" season.
Finally the cream of the crop, the ' pata negra ' (Gran Reserva). Where the 'bellota ibérico' already enjoys the highest possible diet, freedom of the pig and the longest ripening time, the bellota hams are 50-75% ibérico. The 'pata negra ', on the other hand, is always 100% iberico variety and can be recognized by the black label.
Due to these differences in diet, each Jamon Iberico category has its own particularities. Yet none of them is necessarily 'tastier' than the others, this certainly also depends on the taste of each individual. On our website you will find advice on which ham to choose. And as experts in the ham world, we are happy to help you with all your questions.
