How to cut a shoulder

Iberic Box shows you how to cut a shoulder like a professional.
These are the tools that you will need:
• A ham holder
• A wide-bladed knife
• A long, thin and flexible knife
• And a knife sharpener

Before you start cutting, let´s have a look at the different parts of the shoulder:
• This is the “jarrete”, with intense flavour
• The “contramaza”, thinner and drier
• And the “maza”, juicier and tastier

Place the shoulder in the ham holder with the hoof facing down.
Make sure the shoulder is firmly fixed in the holder.
We will start from the driest to the juiciest part, therefore, start cutting the shoulder from the “jarrete”:
Make a cut with the wide-bladed knife to the bone and make a thin straight line on both sides to help yourself remove the crust and the outer fat.
Now let´s cut the “jarrete”
Firmly grab the thin knife and start cutting from the hoof using gentle and swingy movements to obtain straight, thin and short slices.
Nothing left to cut?
Continue with the “contramaza”.
Clean all the crust you need. And separate the meat from the elbow.
This will make it easier for you to keep slicing.
When you reach the tip it will be the signal for you to turn around the piece
and clean the “maza”.
How? Under the elbow make a straight cut, separate two pieces to give yourself some space remove the necessary crust, and cut only the area you are going to consume to keep the bone.
Ready? You can continue cutting slices.
Have you reached the bone?
Make a cut following the bone to continue cutting straight slices…
You still have meat, but you can't slice it?
Cut it in delicious tacos!
Bon Appetite!
