Discover the pinnacle of Spanish gastronomy and savor a legacy of craftsmanship passed down through generations—the 5J Cinco Jotas 100% Ibérico Acorn-Fed Ham. This is not merely food; it is a work of art, sculpted by time and nature.
An Unmatched Pure Breed: We exclusively select officially certified 100% purebred Ibérico pigs. This ancient, pure lineage possesses the unique genetic ability to convert the essence of acorns into luscious, marbled fat that infiltrates the muscle fibers, forming the very foundation of its extraordinary flavor.
The Gift of the 'Montanera' Season: Every 5J pig roams freely in the vast "Dehesa" ecosystems of Southwest Spain. During the annual autumn and winter "Montanera" season, they feast on fallen acorns (bellota), developing a distinctive nutty aroma and a high concentration of beneficial oleic acids.
Legendary Curing Process: This bone-in ham leg has been patiently cured for over 36 months in the legendary natural cellars of Jabugo. Under the constant watch of our master ham artisans (Maestro Jamonero), its evolution is monitored by scent, touch, and sight, ensuring each ham reaches its absolute peak of flavor.
An Ultimate Sensory Feast: Once carved, its ruby-red lean meat is interwoven with ivory-colored, translucent fat, creating a breathtaking mosaic. The aroma is intense and complex, with notes of acorns, dried fruits, and a hint of floral nectar. The texture is sublime, melting effortlessly on the palate, releasing a sweet, savory taste that lingers long after, creating an unforgettable experience.
Why Choose a Whole Bone-In Ham? Owning a whole, bone-in 5J ham means you possess the freshest and most complete flavor profile available. You can explore the subtle differences in texture and taste from various parts of the leg. The ritual of hand-carving paper-thin slices is a gourmet experience in itself. Whether serving as a spectacular centerpiece for esteemed guests or presenting it as a prestigious gift, a 5J ham is a true symbol of status and impeccable taste.
