Jambon noir de Bigorre is protected across the European Union as a protected designation of origin. What that means in practice is that a document exists - the product specification - which fixes the area it may be made in, the raw material it may be made from and the method that may be used, and that a name outside those bounds may not be used on a label.
A protected designation of origin is the stricter of the two schemes. Every stage of production has to happen in the defined area.

What this page does not have
The register records that a specification exists and where it was published. It does not publish the specification text through its API, so this site does not reproduce salting times, ageing minimums or any other production parameter for this product. Those are in the filed document, reachable through the publications above.
Buying jambon sec
Not the protected designation
Nothing sold on Amazon carries the name Jambon noir de Bigorre. What is linked below is jambon sec, the product class this designation is a variety of. It is not Jambon noir de Bigorre and it is not covered by the specification filed under PDO-FR-02105. Everything above this line describes a legal claim; the product below makes no part of it.
The French dry ham. Jambon de Bayonne is the protected name most often seen outside France, and its specification covers the salt as well as the pig: the salt has to come from the Adour basin, which is the kind of clause that makes a designation of origin different from a quality mark.
What to read on the label. Bayonne is the protected name. Jambon sec is the category.
