Hind leg cuts (jamones) weigh between 6 and 9 Kg. Shoulder cuts (paletillas) weigh from 4 to 5.5 Kg.
Shoulder cuts are smaller than hind leg hams. They contain less meat, but are juicier and more marbled with fat.
The finest quality ham comes from Iberian breed pigs, especially those that are born and live in the exceptional habitat constituted by the dehesa of Extremadura, with large tracts of land for grazing, and a singular diet during the finishing period, or montanera, of acorns and grasses.
In this environment, the muscle tissue of the Iberian pig becomes marbled with fat, giving the meat the superlative quality that is seen in Iberico hams and traditional pork products.
The shape of these hams is elongated, and the leg above the hoof is long and slender. Colour ranges from rosy to purplish red. The hams have aromas that are intense, pleasing and highly nuanced; their flavor is very delicate, with the faintest hint of saltiness. The flesh is smooth, and the fat is lustrous and soft to the touch.
