PDO Iberico Huelva Ham.
In the last quarter of the 19th century, specifically in 1872, the first ham industry was founded in Jabugo. At the beginning of the 20th century, the sale of hams accelerated due to the development of the railway line, consolidating a commercial network towards Huelva, Seville and the province of Cádiz. The "Jamón de Jabugo", thanks to its excellent qualities, manages to gain a consolidated national fame.
With the implementation of the Protected Denominations of Origin in the European Economic Community, in 1995, it was decided to request their protection but with the name "Jamón de Huelva", based on the geographical area of production, although at a popular level the fame is had with the name of Jabugo. Subsequently, in September 2008, the Jamón de Huelva Regulatory Council and the Jabugo City Council requested the modification of the name of this appellation of origin to D.O.P Jabugo.
