Difference between an Iberian Shoulder and an Iberian Ham
These are the differences between an Iberian Ham and an Iberian Shoulder, so you can decide!
Origin
Both come from pigs, but the main difference lies in the part of the animal from which they are obtained. The ham is obtained from the hind leg, while the shoulder is obtained from the front leg.
Flavour and texture
Shoulder meat tends to be slightly more tender and juicier than ham due to differences in the musculature of the front and hind legs. In addition, the flavour can vary slightly, with some people preferring one or the other according to their personal tastes.
Size
Shoulders are smaller in size compared to hams, making them more suitable for consumption in smaller groups or for those looking for a more manageable option.
