Bellota shoulder in Boulogne-Billancourt: hand or machine sliced
Choose Bellota 100% Ibérico shoulder in Boulogne-Billancourt through two 80 g net packs: hand-carved 959 or machine-sliced Altanza. Both arrive sliced, without setting up a whole leg. Open their pages to compare presentation and current prices before deciding what to serve.
Two brands and two cutting methods
Shoulder, Bellota category, 100% Iberian breed and net quantity match. Brand and cutting method change: hand-carved 959 versus machine-sliced Altanza. A price difference therefore cannot be explained by cutting alone. Paleta remains the foreleg; 100% does not turn it into hind-leg ham.
Ready-sliced does not mean identical slices
A pack lets you prepare serving without carving a bone-in shoulder. It does not guarantee matching thickness or a fixed slice count across references. Use each product's information, not just the plated photograph. The 959 option here is genuinely hand-carved, not a machine-cut visual effect.
Keep each reference identifiable
When serving both, keep their names separately visible so guests can identify a future repeat purchase. Read ingredients, allergens and storage before arranging the table and retain the label until consumed. Two units do not become a bundled assortment or guaranteed portions for a gathering.
Plan other shopping and receipt
The tourism office distinguishes Escudier and Billancourt markets. Consult the source for separate local purchases without treating them as our pickup points. Send to the real Boulogne-Billancourt address where someone can receive food, not a generic Paris address. Check France conditions and ask first for an essential date.
Before ordering
You buy from Jamones Paco Heredia in Barcelona. Check availability and France shipping; ask Paco first for an essential date. Follow product details and labels for ingredients, allergens and storage.
