Jamones Benito Pérez is a family company with more than 50 years of experience in the production of Iberian products. Quality is our main objective and that is why we guarantee the same in all our Iberian shoulder hams.
We are located in the heart of the Sierra de Francia, specifically in Miranda del Castañar, next to Guijuelo and Béjar, a village belonging to the province of Salamanca and one of the most beautiful in Spain.
Thanks to its climatic conditions, this is the perfect location for the production of Iberian products, as it has cold, dry winters and hot summers, perfect allies and necessary ingredients for the correct production of these products.
Our Iberian shoulder ham stands out for its light salt content. We control the salting process of all our pieces to the maximum in order to obtain this result. Furthermore, the curing process of our Iberian shoulder hams is slow, prolonged and controlled at all times over years of natural curing.
Before deciding to buy one of our Iberian shoulder hams, you can compare the different qualities, prices and formats we offer. All of them, in all their formats, are of the highest quality thanks to our rigorous selection, manufacturing and natural drying process.

Acorn 50% Iberian Shoulder Ham (Red Label)

Cebo 50% Iberian Shoulder Ham (White Label)
Iberian shoulder ham from 50% farm Iberian pigs, fattened on high quality cereal and natural feed.
Size: Iberian shoulder ham comes from the forelegs of the pig, while the ham comes from the hind legs. This means that the size of the hams is larger than that of the shoulders.
Price: the price/kg of the Iberian ham is higher than the price/kg of the Iberian shoulder ham.
Yield: due to the morphology of each piece, the meat yield of a ham is higher than the meat yield of a shoulder ham. Therefore, the proportion of bone and fat in a shoulder is slightly higher than that of a ham.
Curing time: Iberian hams, being larger than Iberian shoulder hams, need longer curing time to obtain the perfect point.
In addition to all this, many palates detect nuances and differences between their flavours and aromas.
