Jamon de Trevelez is the PGI cured ham from the Alpujarras village at 1,500 metres, the Sierra Nevadas signature jamon with a sweet long-cure note from altitude.
Jamon de Trevelez has been cured at 1,500 metres in the Alpujarras village of Trevelez since the 18th century, the high-altitude air giving the ham a sweet, dry-cured character distinct from Iberian acorn-fed jamon. The PGI (Indicacion Geografica Protegida) was granted in 2005. The ham cures for a minimum of 14 months and the best examples run 30 months. In Granada city the canonical bar tapa of habas con jamon Trevelez is on every traditional menu, and the cured slices are sold by every Andalusian charcuteria in the Centro.
