Presunto de Campo Maior e Elvas / Paleta de Campo Maior e Elvas is protected across the European Union as a protected geographical indication. 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 geographical indication requires that at least one stage of production, processing or preparation happens in the defined area, which is a lower bar than a designation of origin.

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 jamon
Not the protected designation
Nothing sold on Amazon carries the name Presunto de Campo Maior e Elvas / Paleta de Campo Maior e Elvas. What is linked below is jamon, the product class this designation is a variety of. It is not Presunto de Campo Maior e Elvas / Paleta de Campo Maior e Elvas and it is not covered by the specification filed under PGI-PT-0438. Everything above this line describes a legal claim; the product below makes no part of it.
The Spanish hams split along two axes that get confused with each other. One is the protected name, which fixes the place: Teruel, Guijuelo, Dehesa de Extremadura, Jabugo, Los Pedroches, Trevelez. The other is the breed and feeding of the pig, which is a separate Spanish quality standard and is where iberico and bellota sit. A ham can carry one and not the other.
What to read on the label. The protected name tells you where. The iberico and bellota wording tells you what the animal was and ate. They are different statements and both belong on the label.
