If you are going to enjoy your Iberian shoulder in one or two days, we recommend that you start with the maza, the widest part. In this case, we will place the shoulder with the hoof facing upwards. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"294\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Paleta-bellota-iberica-pezuna-hacia-arriba-294x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Paleta-bellota-iberica-pezuna-hacia-arriba-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Paleta-bellota-iberica-pezuna-hacia-arriba-600x612.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Paleta-bellota-iberica-pezuna-hacia-arriba-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Paleta-bellota-iberica-pezuna-hacia-arriba.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>It is the juiciest part due to the infiltration of fat that it has. The maza is the most attractive part to cut and the one that usually draws the most attention visually. Starting with that area if we are going to cut the Iberian shoulder at an event will help us to enhance the piece and the cut. The diners&#8217; first impressions of the shoulder will be better since they will be enjoying one of the most valued parts of the piece right from the start.   <\/p>\n\n<p>In fact, at a professional level, both at events and in specialist shops, the most common practice is to always start the piece with the mallet.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"190\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Loncha-de-jamon-190x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Loncha-de-jamon-190x300.jpg 190w, https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Loncha-de-jamon-647x1024.jpg 647w, https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Loncha-de-jamon-600x950.jpg 600w, https:\/\/moniberic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Loncha-de-jamon.jpg 676w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>In any case, there are all kinds of theories and in the end each master has his own book.
