Information about 100% Iberian Sweet Bellota Ham PDO Jabugo
The 100% sweet jamón de bellota ibérico PDO Jabugo SUMUM 17 Aldeas is unique. Coming from pure Iberian pigs raised in the family pasture of La Lima where they are fed with sweet acorns.
What are sweet acorns and why do they make the jamón ibérico 17 Villages unique?
The bellota like all fruits, has sugars in its composition. The average is usually 3.5% and the hundred-year-old holm oaks of our Dehesa have 9%, almost triple the usual. This doesn't mean that the ham is going to be sweet, no!! But the pig ibérico as a monogastric animal, synthesizes in its meat the food it takes. In this way, a bellota with more sugar will give the ham a unique and special flavor.
Our Dehesa, located in the Sierra de Aracena Picos de Aroche Natural Park, has a very high density of holm oaks that allow a higher consumption of bellota per animal that translates into a higher % of oleic acid, reaching up to 60% well above the usual.
Finally, in 17 villages we are very aware of Animal Welfare and we are one of the few producers of ibérico that has the Welfair Quality No. 2022010001 and PEFC License No. PEFC/14-22-00004 certificates.
Adding these special circumstances, we achieved a unique jamón ibérico , the 17 Aldeas PDO Jabugo ham. Possibly the best jamón ibérico in the world.

Why buy 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham 17 Aldeas?

The Dehesa de la Lima is special because the acorn of its oaks are significantly sweeter and because it has water springs of unusual purity. These two characteristics give the ham a unique and easily recognizable flavor that captivates the palate of the most demanding consumers. The extraordinary abundance of sweet acorns of our Dehesa also allows the percentage of Oleic Acid of the 17 Aldeas hams to be higher than the average with levels above 60%.
To add a plus of guarantee and quality, all Iberian ham 17 Aldeas is covered by the PDO Jamón de Jabugo with summum category.
