Iberico Ham Acorn-fed Bellota 100% Pure Breed (shoulder) Bone in from Spain - Jamon 100% Iberico de Bellota Pata Negra (Paleta Iberica) - Gluten Free (Ham stand & Knife included)

My wife is Spanish and I've been to Spain several times, so I know what good Iberian jamon is. We heard Costco had jamon Iberico about a month before Thanksgiving but those sold out in a day. We started looking online and found this shoulder on Amazon. There weren't many reviews so my wife checked this company out in Spain, all reviews were top notch so that was all we needed to hear. I have to say we were very pleased with this ham. It may seem pricey if you haven't had it before, but if you have, then you know it's not a bad deal for U.S. prices. If we were in Spain, it would be much less expensive! I hope it becomes more readily available in the U.S. soon. This is very good jamon Iberico and we received the order quickly. I'm glad it came with the stand, we already had a nice carving knife but that was also an included bonus. We would recommend this to anyone who likes high grade acorn fed jamon Iberico, it is very high quality and worth the price to us. The flavor of fresh carved jamon like this is the best in the world. We will likely order it again!

I’ve carved nearly half this ham away, and it’s ALL FAT! Absolute ripoff. Seriously either want a new ham or my money back. Amazon, you need to investigate this vendor. They’re giving your reputation a black eye

It was just ok

WOW This is the best iberico bellota ham I've had in years. I just can't believe I'm having it here at home in the USA! With my prime, I received my jamon iberico in 2 days after I placed order and have been extremely satisfied with the shipping process, the presentation, and, the jamon. It comes impeccably wrapped (vacuum sealed and with a net) making for an impressive gift. As one who's very picky about jamon, I can comfortably say that this jamon is outstanding. Upon the first bite, you can immediately tell that it's a high quality bellota ham. The slicing is smooth and (with a little practice!) produces gorgeous layers hard to find outside of Spain. The ham is perfectly cured with a soft texture and the perfect marbling to give it an unmistakable, full flavor that only an "iberico bellota” can produce. The wooden stand and carving knife are great additions to the set, although I suspect if you're going to be a repeat buyer, you'll probably want to upgrade those to something a bit more upscale. All in all, super happy with my purchase. Will definitely be back for more!

This ham is a rip-off. The taste is horrible. The aftertaste lasts a while. I had to drink water with lemon to stop feeling the grease. I’d like to return. It for a Serrano ham. The taste of this paleta is not good at all. The fat is overwhelming.

The best in value! To those who are claiming that this is "not" a Belotta100% Ibérica, are obviously ignorant about Spanish ham. This ham is authentic. The fact that the "black label" is attached to it is the enough proof! I have tried hams from many countries and the Ibèrico is the best. It is unparalled. I've traveled to Spain several times and I know what I am talking about. If you learned how to cut it properly , you'd really appreciate it. Of course there is a lot of fat, because this is front leg or the shoulder, but for me it is even tastier than the rear leg. You really have to spend money to savor the best ham in the world and that is given! I will buy again from this vendor! PS: the origin of this product is Los Pedroches, in Córdoba, Andalusia, one of the only 4 regions whose designations are legally protected.

Hi, I am from Spain and grew up with an Iberico Ham at home all the time. Great memories of seem my father cutting slices, he probably ate one slice per slice going into the serving plate. I do the same now! This Iberico Shoulder is a great value. I found the flavor above average and the fat to meat ratio to be good. I will buy it again. I question the validity of some of the negative reviews. People should have well defined expectations of what this product is. A shoulder has definitely less meat than a ham, and Iberico hams fed acorns, are well known for high fat content. I love the fat and that is why I buy Iberico versus Serrano. You should probably buy a different product (boneless Serrano) if the fat content is a turn off. In addition, I would suggest that buyers watch a couple videos online of how to cut bone in hams from Spain. I can tell by some of the pictures posted in reviews that people have not paid attention on how to cut this shoulder. Cutting it properly is key. Thanks

Over priced worth about half the price.More bone and fat than ham on the bone .
