Its production is documented in an accounting record from 1397, preserved in the archives of the Great St. Bernard Hospice. It was granted Protected Designation of Origin status in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>It is made from the hind legs of Italian heavy-breed pigs, processed by hand, dry-cured with sea salt, and flavored with pepper, garlic, juniper berries, and wild thyme harvested from local slopes. The curing process lasts at least 12 months (with select batches reaching 24 or 30 months) and takes place in Saint-Rh\u00e9my, where the hams are laid on beds of mountain hay, taking advantage of the dry air and ventilation of the mountain pass.<\/p>\n<p>Jambon de Bosses DOP can be purchased and enjoyed in Saint-Rh\u00e9my-en-Bosses at the Sous le Pont de Bosses ham shop and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitgsb.it\/en\/where-to-eat\/business-activities\/\">La Botecca di Gourmandise<\/a> in the hamlet of Predumaz at Falcoz 22 (phone +39 0165 780611 \/ +39 333 5756350), as well as in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitgsb.it\/en\/where-to-eat\/\">restaurants<\/a> and shops throughout the valley.
