How we select the best hams from Extremadura for you

The selection of the best hams from Extremadura in Ibericomio is carried out with a careful periodic inspection of dryers from dozens of jamón ibérico manufacturers in Extremadura.

Among all our associated producers, only those chosen have the protection of the D.O.P. Dehesa de Extremadura, possibly the most demanding of the D.O.P.'s in the jamón ibérico.

The selection of PDO Dehesa de Extremadura ham begins in the field. Among all the 100% Iberian pigs, those are selected that, due to their morphology, already point to giving us a special ham.

Subsequently, when the oleic content analysis of each batch of hams is carried out, the visual inspection in the field is ratified or rejected.

From there, it is time and dedication to obtain the best PDO Dehesa de Extremadura ham.
