Cinco Jotas 5J 100% Iberian acorn-fed ham

A large 100% Iberian ham from Jabugo

The 100% Iberian acorn-fed Pata Negra Cinco Jotas 5J ham is produced in the Jabugo region of Andalusia, an iconic area for Iberian ham production. This ham comes from pure-bred Iberian pigs reared in the open air in the natural landscapes of the dehesa.

Traditional rearing

Iberian pigs roam freely in pastures comprising meadows and holm oak woodlands. This extensive farming method contributes to the exceptional quality of the meat and the development of the characteristic texture of Iberian ham.

The montanera

During the montanera, the pigs feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from the holm oaks, as well as on natural resources found in the pastures. This rich diet promotes the marbling of fat within the meat and contributes to the development of the typical flavours of bellota Iberian ham.

The Cinco Jotas expertise

For over a century, Cinco Jotas has upheld its renowned expertise in the production of Iberian hams. The rigorous selection of cuts and mastery of the curing process result in hams renowned for their finesse and rich flavour.

Traditional curing

The hams are cured slowly in natural drying rooms over several years. This gradual maturation develops a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a complex range of flavours.

An exceptional gourmet product

Cinco Jotas 5J ham is now regarded as one of the benchmarks of Spanish gastronomy. Its delicacy and rich aroma make it a product particularly prized by connoisseurs of Iberian ham.
