Jabugo Summum PDO 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed "Pata Negra" Ham MH

An exceptional ham from the Jabugo PDO

The Jabugo PDO SUMMUM 100% Iberian acorn-fed Pata Negra Martin Hierro ham is one of the most prized hams from the Jabugo appellation. It represents the highest level of quality within this Protected Designation of Origin, recognized as one of the most prestigious in Spain.

The SUMMUM Category

Within the Jabugo PDO, the “SUMMUM” classification corresponds to the highest quality. To earn this distinction, the ham must meet strict criteria regarding breed, rearing, diet, age, and curing time.

A 100% Iberian pig raised in the open

This ham comes from purebred “pata negra” Iberian pigs, raised free-range in the dehesas of the Sierra de Huelva. The animals thrive in a preserved natural environment with low stocking density, ensuring extensive farming that respects tradition.

A diet consisting exclusively of acorns

During the montanera, the pigs feed exclusively on acorns as well as natural resources from the dehesa. This diet contributes to the marbling of fat in the meat and the development of exceptional aromatic richness.

Natural curing in the microclimate of Jabugo

The hams are slowly cured in the natural drying rooms of the Sierra de Jabugo. Opening and closing the windows naturally regulates humidity and temperature, without the use of artificial processes. This unique microclimate plays an essential role in the development of the aromas.

A unique taste experience

This ham is distinguished by its fine, melt-in-the-mouth flesh, perfectly distributed fat marbling, and a supple texture that almost melts in the mouth. The aromas are complex and harmonious, with characteristic notes of dried fruit and hazelnut.

A ham for discerning connoisseurs

SUMMUM Martin Hierro ham is a product of excellence intended for true connoisseurs of Iberian ham. It is best enjoyed in thin slices at room temperature to reveal the full richness of its terroir and aging process.
