Traditional ham of Chaves, Portugal

Presunto (Portuguese: [pɾɨˈzũtu]) is dry-cured ham from Portugal, similar to Italian prosciuttoorSpanish jamón. Among the wide variety of presuntosinPortugal, the most famous are presunto from Chaves, produced in the north of Portugal, and that from the Alentejo, in the south, made from local Alentejano pigs.[citation needed]

Several varieties of presunto are protected by European law with geographical indications.

Etymology[edit]

The word is from Vulgar Latin past participle persunctus, ultimately from the verb sugo, 'to suck', and is unrelated to identical words in Italian and Spanish coming from the also past participle praesumptus, ultimately from sumo, 'to (under)take, occupy' (see wikt:presunto).[citation needed]

Presunto PDO and IGP[edit]

In March 2014, six varieties of presunto were protected by European law registered with protected designation of origin:
