A PDO Guijuelo Cebo de Campo ham

This ham belongs to Class III of the PDO Guijuelo, which covers Iberian Cebo de Campo hams. This category applies to pigs with at least 50% Iberian breed, raised outdoors under the conditions established by the PDO specifications.

For 50% and 75% Iberian hams, the PDO specifications require, among other conditions, a minimum weight of 7 kg and a minimum production period of 800 days. Certified hams bear the green PDO seal of Guijuelo, together with traceability elements identifying their origin.

The Guijuelo PDO also defines the product's sensory characteristics: meat ranging from pink to purplish red, with a glossy appearance, visible fat infiltration, a low-fibre texture and a delicate, sweet and lightly salted flavour.

Naturally cured in Guijuelo

Marcial Castro produces and cures its hams in Guijuelo, near Salamanca, a region with a long tradition of naturally curing Iberian hams. Located at around 1,000 metres above sea level, Guijuelo has a climate marked by contrasting seasons, which contributes to the natural drying and curing process.

At Marcial, the hams are carefully monitored throughout their long curing period, following the traditional methods of the house.
