SUMMUM Jabugo PDO boneless ham - 100% Iberian Pata Negra Bellota

A large Iberian ham from the Jabugo PDO

100% Iberian bellota Pata Negra DOP Jabugo ham is made from purebred Iberian pigs raised in freedom in the dehesa landscapes of Andalusia. This protected designation of origin is one of the most prestigious in Spain for the production of Iberian ham.

The Andalusian dehesas

Iberian pigs roam vast natural pastures dotted with holm oaks and cork oaks. This ecosystem, known as dehesa, provides an ideal environment for the extensive farming of Iberian pigs and contributes directly to the exceptional quality of the meat.

The montanera and acorns

During the montanera, the pigs feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from the oak trees, as well as on grasses and aromatic plants found in the pastures. Each animal can consume between 8 and 10 kg of acorns per day. This diet promotes the infiltration of fat into the meat and contributes to the melt-in-the-mouth texture and characteristic aromas of bellota Iberian ham.

Traditional curing

The hams are slowly cured in the natural drying rooms of the Jabugo region for several years. This gradual maturation process develops a supple texture and a complex aromatic palette with delicate notes of dried fruit.

An iconic product

Iberian bellota ham DOP Jabugo is now considered one of the most iconic products of Spanish gastronomy. Its finesse and rich aroma make it a benchmark among the great Iberian hams.
