Ibérico shoulder ham for a Maastricht tasting: choose your slicing
Plan a tasting in Maastricht without carving a whole shoulder. Compare two Bellota 100% Ibérico shoulder hams from Jamones Paco Heredia, each in an 80 g net pack: knife-sliced 959 and machine-sliced Altanza. Both are paleta from the front leg. You are choosing between two brands and slicing methods, rather than between hind-leg ham and shoulder ham. Each product is ordered separately so you can build your own selection.
Start with knife-sliced 959
Choose the 959 reference if knife slicing is your priority. The 80 g net pack lets you arrange your own presentation without a ham stand or carving a whole piece at home. A serving photograph is visual inspiration, not a promise of an included serving tray or a fixed slice count. Check the details of this reference before choosing how many packs to order.
Machine-sliced Altanza: another shoulder ham
The other option is Altanza Bellota 100% Ibérico shoulder ham, also 80 g net, sliced by machine. A shared family, category and pack weight help you organise a comparison; they do not establish an identical recipe, texture or flavour. Both brand and slicing differ. Any price difference cannot be explained by knife work alone.
Build a tasting that suits your table
One pack of each adds up to 160 g net. That is a quantity, not a promised number of guests: the rest of the food and the occasion matter. Serve the references separately and keep the labels available to identify them while you compare. Follow each pack’s opening, storage and consumption instructions. We do not give both products a common storage period once opened.
Receiving your order in Maastricht
Municipal information lists Wyck and Jekerkwartier among the central neighbourhoods. A neighbourhood name does not replace your street, postcode, house number and suffix. For accommodation deliveries, check in advance that someone can accept the parcel and store food according to its label. This is an online purchase from Barcelona, without advertised collection at shops or community buildings in those neighbourhoods.
