The Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong> is considered the best shoulder in the world made from white pork. The Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong> can be distinguished for different reasons. It has a weight equal to or greater than 4.4 kg, as well as a cure at an altitude greater than 800 meters. In addition, the production of the Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong> is carried out in the province of Teruel, as indicated by its designation of origin. The Teruel palette has an elongated shape, outlined and rounded at its edges, with a reddish color and a shiny appearance when cut.<\/p>\n

\"Teruel<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the flavor of the Teruel DO<\/strong> hickory, it is a delicate, very pleasant and slightly salty flavor. The fat contained in said pork shoulder is unctuous, bright white \/ yellowish in color and pleasant in flavor.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong> has a minimum curing of 36 weeks throughout its production process and comes exclusively from the Landrace, Large White breeds or a cross of both (in the mother line), and Duroc (the father line).<\/p>\n

Meaning of Denomination of Origin<\/h3>\n

The Denomination of Origin (DO)<\/strong> protects products that have been made in a specific geographical area, with raw materials originating in the area, within a production process that meets the guidelines required to obtain protection through technological resources and optimal humans, as is the case with the Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong> is basically protected by this geographical environment, offering certain conditions that enable the qualities necessary for this designation of origin.<\/p>\n

Difference between shoulder and serrano ham<\/h2>\n

The shoulder and the serrano ham<\/strong> come from the same pig and have a very similar flavor, but there are details that differentiate the Teruel Shoulder DO\u00a0<\/strong>from the serrano ham. The shoulder is usually more aromatic and offers a more aromatic and slightly sweet flavor, although this does not mean that the ham has a better flavor.<\/p>\n

Although the main difference between shoulder and Serrano ham is the leg of the pig, or also known as pernil. The Teruel Shoulder DO<\/strong> is obtained from the front legs of the pig, while a Teruel ham<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span> is obtained from the broader and thicker hind legs.<\/p>\n
