To say Jabugo, is to say tradition and the best crafts-manship. Due to the extraordinary macroclimate such as cold northern winter winds and the mild summer temperatures, the hams are cured in a natural way at 700 meters altitude.
Quality is stringently controlled during the whole production and elaboration processes, and can be seen from the breeding of the pig to the maturation of the product to become a delicacy. Jabugo raises the Iberico pigs in the dehesa systems while paying special attention to the control of the genetic of the breed, the handing, and the nourishment of the pigs. Due to Iberico pigs reared in free range and are fed on acorns, their ham has a unique marble like texture and a special flavor and aroma.
