Jabugo Summum PDO 100% Iberian acorn-fed “Pata Negra” ham, pre-sliced, MH 80 g.

A prestigious designation of origin: Jabugo PDO

Martin Hierro’s Summum Pata Negra 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham bears the Jabugo Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), considered one of the most prestigious for Iberian ham. This designation guarantees that the rearing of the pigs, the processing and the curing of the hams are carried out in the historic region of Jabugo, in Andalusia, an area renowned for its expertise and ideal natural conditions.

Traditional rearing of Iberian pigs

The 100% Iberian pigs roam freely across the vast dehesa landscapes of south-western Spain. During the montanera, a crucial period in their rearing, their diet consists mainly of acorns and natural resources found in the environment. This exceptional diet contributes to the marbling of fat within the meat and plays a direct role in the rich flavour of bellota Iberian ham.

Natural curing in the Sierra de Jabugo

Martin Hierro hams are slowly cured in natural cellars located in the Sierra de Jabugo. The specific climatic conditions of this region allow the hams to mature gradually. This long, natural curing process develops a supple texture and great aromatic complexity, characteristic of fine Iberian hams.

Hand-sliced

Traditional hand-slicing preserves the ham’s structure and produces thin slices that reveal the full quality of the ham. This presentation highlights the fine grain, the melt-in-the-mouth texture and the delicately marbled fat, which adds depth and a lingering finish.
