Roasted paleta shoulder is an iconic meal in Spain, a delicious combination of tender meat with a crisp, browned skin. Its melt-in-your-mouth texture and mild taste irresistible. What a special centerpiece for a celebration feast! 

After slow-roasting in the oven or grill, the meat will literally fall off the bone. For best results, bring to room temperature and season with garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper before cooking. Each bone-in paleta lamb shoulder feeds two to three people.

Why is Spanish lamb so amazing? Spanish lambs much smaller than their American counterparts and finished on grains, producing meat of the finest quality with a sweet, delicate flavor. 

These lambs are pasture raised in the dehesa rangelands—also home to the venerated Ibérico pig. After a few months of grazing in the outdoors, they’re carefully moved to COVAP’s Bienestar WELFAIR™-certified finishing center, where they’re fed high-quality grains to enhance their flavor and texture.
