Tesoro de Benito Paleta Reserva Cruce Duroc is a traditionally produced Spanish dry-cured pork shoulder, carefully prepared using established salting, drying and ageing methods.
Its characteristic flavour develops gradually throughout the curing process, as the meat loses moisture and natural changes contribute to a distinctive aroma and texture.
The shoulder comes from pigs crossbred with Duroc, a breed valued for its natural intramuscular fat distribution.
This characteristic contributes to a pleasant texture and fuller flavour.
Tesoro de Benito Paleta Reserva reflects the traditional Spanish approach to producing dry-cured pork.
During ageing, natural processes gradually develop the meat's aroma, flavour and texture.
Its defining characteristics include:
A rich, pleasant dry-cured aroma.
Balanced saltiness.
Natural fat marbling.
A texture suitable for carving into thin slices.
Distinctive Spanish cured pork flavour.
Duroc pigs are valued for the characteristics of their meat, particularly the distribution of fat within the muscle.
This contributes to the shoulder's pleasant texture and richer flavour.
For the best experience, carve the shoulder into very thin slices and serve at room temperature.
A stable ham stand and a long, thin Jamón carving knife are recommended for traditional hand carving.
Perfect pairings include:
Aged Spanish cheeses.
Olives and extra virgin olive oil.
Fresh bread and tomatoes.
Mediterranean-style appetisers.
Dry red wine.
Tesoro de Benito – authentic Spanish curing traditions and rich flavour in every slice.
