La Prudencia Paleta Gran Reserva

La Prudencia Paleta Gran Reserva is a Spanish cured pork shoulder made from cereal-fed Duroc/Landrace white pigs. It matures slowly for 18–22 months in natural drying rooms and cellars above 1,200 metres in the Sierra de Campo Azálvaro. Fine slices reveal a gently sweet flavour and succulent texture.
