Cinco Jotas 5J 100% Iberian bellota Pata Negra shoulder, hand-sliced, 70 g

A great Iberian tradition in Jabugo

The 70 g hand-sliced 100% Iberian Pata Negra Bellota Cinco Jotas 5J shoulder ham comes from Jabugo in Andalusia, an iconic region for Iberian ham production. For over a century, Cinco Jotas has upheld its renowned expertise in crafting exceptional Iberian products.

Rearing Iberian pigs in the dehesa

Iberian pigs are reared free-range in the dehesa landscape, which consists of natural pastures and oak trees. This environment fosters extensive farming in keeping with tradition and contributes directly to the quality of the meat.

The montanera: the key to bellota quality

During the montanera, the animals feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from the oak trees and on natural resources found in the pastures. Each pig can consume between 8 and 10 kg of acorns per day. This diet promotes the marbling of fat and contributes to the development of the characteristic flavours of bellota Iberian products.

Traditional curing

The shoulders are slowly matured in the natural cellars of Jabugo for around 24 months. This gradual maturation develops a supple texture and remarkable aromatic richness, with delicate notes of dried fruit.

Hand-carved and ready to enjoy

Hand-sliced, this Iberian shoulder yields thin slices that respect the meat’s natural structure and highlight its melt-in-the-mouth texture and intense flavours.
