Monte Dorado Out-of-Norm Paleta
Price range: 96,00€ through 129,00€
The Monte Dorado Out-of-Norm Paleta is a hidden gem, reserved for those who know how to look beyond the label. Made from free-range pigs fed with acorns and natural pastures, these pieces do not fall within the official classification of Iberian for technical reasons, but maintain a sensory quality absolutely comparable—and even superior—to many paletas labeled as acorn-fed.
With a slow curing process of between 24 and 32 months, this paleta develops a unique character. Its meat, with intense tones, is generously marbled and gives off an aroma reminiscent of the open countryside, traditional curing, acorns, and the slight smoke of natural cellars.
On the palate, its flavor is deep, with a mellow texture and a long finish that leaves a vivid, authentic, persistent impression.
A piece for connoisseurs, for those seeking flavor without filters or artifice, only truth and excellence.
A Piece that Doesn’t Need Labels to be Extraordinary
The Monte Dorado out-of-norm paleta is one of our most special pieces. It comes from acorn-fed, free-range pigs, but for technical reasons, it does not conform to the parameters of the Iberian standard. The result is a paleta with all the intensity of the acorn, without the label… and without its price.
Cured for between 24 and 32 months, this paleta develops a silky texture, melting fat, and a robust flavor, long, with hints of mountain, earth, and wood.

The best-kept secret among Iberian connoisseurs
If you are looking for an authentic, cheap Iberian acorn-fed paleta, this piece is for you. Perfect to enjoy without pretense, but with all the flavor.
Nothing is rushed at Monte Dorado. The hams are cured in natural drying sheds for between 18 and 48 months, depending on their category, morphology, and character. The temperature, humidity, and silence work in harmony with the experience of our master ham makers. There is no rush, because haste is not part of authenticity.
During those months, the ham slowly transforms. The fat melts, the meat settles, the aromas are refined. It is an intimate, ancestral process, where time is the true secret ingredient.
