Exqium boneless half-shoulder, 100% Iberian Bellota Pata Negra, with no additives

Andalusian origins and Iberian tradition

The EXQIUM 100% Iberian acorn-fed Pata Negra half-shoulder is produced in Andalusia, a region with a long history of producing Iberian ham and shoulder. Pure-bred Iberian pigs are reared there in the dehesa landscapes, which consist of natural pastures and oak trees, providing an ideal environment for their development.

Free-range rearing in the dehesa

Iberian pigs roam freely in the pastures and are reared using extensive farming methods. During the montanera, they feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from the oak trees, as well as on natural resources found in the dehesa. Each pig can consume between 8 and 10 kg of acorns per day, which directly contributes to the quality of the meat.

A recipe free from additives

This half shoulder is made using only Iberian shoulder and sea salt. No additives or preservatives are used in order to preserve the product’s authenticity and the purity of the flavours developed during curing.

Slow and natural curing

The shoulders are matured slowly in natural cellars for around 24 months, depending on the size of the cuts. This gradual maturation allows a tender texture and a rich, complex flavour to develop, with delicate notes of dried fruit characteristic of bellota Iberian products.

A gourmet cut to share

The half Iberian bellota shoulder is ideal for lovers of Spanish cured meats who wish to savour a whole piece. It allows you to fully appreciate the delicacy of the meat and the balance between lean and fat typical of pata negra products.
