The producer
Consorcio de Jabugo - Huelva - Spain
Why we chose them
Consorcio de Jabugo has been breeding Iberian pigs and has been producing hams for over 26 years. The
company develops its activity in Jabugo area, in the Andalusia region at 700 m altitude, where the strong north
winds in winter and the gentle summer temperatures give to the hams unique characteristics. The pigs of pure
Iberian breed are reared in large open spaces (dehesa) and freedom, with traditional and controlled diet. From
the young age are left in the wild, they feed with vegetables that are found in nature, with the integration of
cereals. They are slaughtered in winter, when they reach optimum weight, which never exceeds 180 pounds.
Slaughter, as well as filleting and the other phases of the production are done by hand, according to the
tradition. Hames are then matured for a long time in natural environment, from 18 up to 38 months. The Jamón
Ibérico's quality depends on the purity of the breed, the extensive farming system, the type of power and the
ripening period. As for the feeding of pigs, hams are classified according to the amount of consumed acorns
before slaughtering: Jamón Ibérico de Cebo, de Cebo de Campo, de Recebo e de Bellota.
