The meat company continues to be questioned for the sale of its hams and its book of facts that we have already been telling here, the Trevedul ham from Comapa. A new chapter to be written because the company is marketing the cured as if they were Trevélez. But actually, the pigs have been raised in Poland, although in each product this aspect is well hidden, although it is not indecipherable. It is an identical case to the one reported by Sierra from Granada Alpujarra in August, but this time under the label Gold hams from Granada. Find out more about this swindle here
Uncovering the Comapa Trevedul Ham fraud
As indicated in their complaints the PGI Trevélez Hams, Trevedul ham from Comapa is made available to the public under that name that has led to the presentation of the complaint.

It is also drawn a black oval that says "minimum curing" and "traditional 12 months" (although the normal thing in these hams is that they are of five more). At that point you can start to suspect, despite the fact that on the back commercial label there is the seal of Spanish health registry. However, if the visual analysis is directed towards the piece of the pig itself, the true origin of the animal, that it's not Granada, not even close.
That data is recorded in red on all hams and indicates the license plate of the slaughterhouse where the pig was once slaughtered the product comes from. At Trevedul ham from Comapa, the number begins with the initials «PL»Corresponding to the international identifier of the Republic of Poland. Once this has been discovered, it is clear that the raw material comes from abroad and not from Granada.
