Joselito, Jamón Paleta iberica Gran Reserva, bone-in ham, 5-6.5kg
A delicious ham that matures for over 24 months, a delicate treat that will impress every gourmet.
Why choose Joselito paleta?
- More practical size than jamón – a smaller piece of meat is eaten more quickly, so every portion keeps its typical freshness and juiciness.
- 100% natural product – Joselito paleta comes from free-range Iberian pigs that live on pastures and feed on acorns and natural fodder, with no added additives.
- Exceptionally complex flavour – the foreleg offers a more intense aromatic profile, with deep nutty notes typical of genuine Iberian paleta.
- Long ageing – more than two years of natural curing gives the meat extraordinary tenderness, a rich aroma and a perfectly harmonious flavour.
- A legend among hams – Joselito is regarded as one of the most prestigious brands in the world, prized by chefs and gourmets alike for its uncompromising standards and a tradition spanning more than 150 years.
Paleta Ibérica de Bellota is the foreleg from black, semi-wild Iberian pigs. Paleta differs from jamón not only in size but also in the flavour of the meat. While jamón is juicier, paleta offers a range of different flavour intensities, and the fat is not infiltrated into the muscle structure in such fine veins. On the finish, paleta is slightly sweet and very delicate. It contains no artificial preservatives or colourings.
The company JOSELITO has more than 150 years of tradition in producing jamón. Today the hams are made exactly as the great-grandfathers of today's producers made them. The entire production process is under very careful control. Over time, their uniqueness has won them fans not only in Spain. The company owns thousands of hectares of oak groves in the area around Salamanca, where the black, semi-wild pigs graze.
The company is almost obsessed with controlling the quality of the pigs' lives. Iberian pigs live as if they were in the wild, are content and experience no stress. Each pig has around 3 hectares of land at its disposal.
The acorns they eat contain large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. These help reduce bad cholesterol. That is why meat from Iberian pigs is healthy.
How does the ageing process work?
The paletas are salted, but only as much as is necessary. That is why Joselito hams are described as pleasantly sweet with a low salt content. During the winter, the ageing process takes place, aided by the wind. The salt gradually draws water out of the meat. In spring and summer, a process takes place that looks as if the jamón is "sweating". Fat is released and penetrates the tissue. When autumn comes, the paletas are hung in natural underground cellars. This ensures constant humidity and a constant temperature throughout ageing. Thanks to cellars situated in this way, the hams mature very slowly (for a minimum of 24 months).
Selection is carried out by the Maestro Jamonero individually for each jamón/paleta. Only this way can we be sure of its top-class qualities.
Joselito was founded here back in 1868 and to this day remains one of the most respected producers of ibérico hams in the world.
