100% Iberian acorn-fed ham with DOP Jabugo

With the maximum distinction of quality and purity DOP Jabugo, our 100% Iberian acorn-fed hams from Cortegana and its natural winery attached to the Regulatory Council are labeled from Jabugo. DOP Jabugo hams bring together a series of organoleptic qualities, highlighting their aroma, 100% Iberian racial purity, free-range breeding and fattening of the pig based on acorns and grasses from the pasture, and its curing process in a natural environment with microclimatic conditions typical of the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche (Andalusia, Spain).

The production of the exclusive DOP Jabugo hams (highest quality) involves a production process of more than 4 years. During this time there is a curing phase for the settlement and balance of salt where the master ham maker intervenes and another maturation phase in the natural cellar where the sapid and aromatic components evolve.

After 4 years and having completed the different production phases, these hams are granted the control element known as "The DOP Jabugo vitola". A seal of quality and distinction that only 100% Iberian acorn-fed hams and shoulders possess, possibly the best Iberian ham in the world, DOP Jabugo Ham.
