Origin of the Jamón of Jabugo jamon de jabugo - jamon de Huelva

The “jamón of Jabugo” is the one produced in the municipality of Jabugo, an Andalusian town located in Huelva. This town of 2,260 inhabitants according to the 2016 census is one of the main producers of Iberian products in the country and its peculiarity lies in the way that it is produced

The development of the Jamón industry has led to a mechanization process where the right temperature and humidity of the hams are automatically controlled. However, the particularity of Jabugo ham lies in the fact that drying follows the same traditional process that was followed a few years ago.

Traditionally, the process of dry-curing the Jamón has been done by hand, opening and closing the windows of the drying areas where the ham legs used to be placed; the producers of the Jamóm from Huelva still maintain this same procedure today and continue opening and closing the windows  according to the atmospheric conditions of the Sierra and the needs of the Iberian product at all times.

O .Jamón de Jabugo is the oldest of all and that is why, together with these exceptional climatic conditions, this Jamón is considered one of the most famous in the world. This designation of origin covers 31 production areas in which are found Alajar, Almonaster la Real, Aracena, Aroche, Cala, Cañaveral de León, Galaroza, Cumbres Mayores and of course the most famous Jabugo, among others.

Both the taste of the hams and that of the ham shoulders have a recognizable taste.
