Jamón de Teruel DOP Cured Ham

Jamón de Teruel represents the first Denomination of Origin (D.O.P.) granted to a cured ham in Spain, officially recognized in 1984. Governed by the Consejo Regulador de la Denominación de Origen Jamón de Teruel / Paleta de Teruel, this certification guarantees that the pigs are bred, reared, slaughtered, and cured strictly within the province of Teruel in Aragon, Spain.

The certification seal displayed on the packaging guarantees compliance with strict traditional curing standards at high altitudes (minimum 800 meters) and dry climatic conditions characteristic of the Teruel region. Because it is a geographical indication and quality certification mark rather than a single commercial brand, it is overseen by the collective regulatory council on behalf of certified regional producers in Teruel, Spain.
