Savor the unmatched elegance of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota from Cinco Jotas, a pinnacle of Spanish gastronomy. Nestled in the serene mountains of southwest Spain, these pasture-raised, acorn-fed hams are lovingly cured for over two years.
Each thinly carved slice reveals the complex symphony of flavors that this exceptional ham offers, creating the perfect centerpiece for your special gatherings. Cinco Jotas, the esteemed hallmark of Ibérico ham, ensures excellence, with Jabugo standing as a beacon of this celebrated quality.
Bask in the heritage of the ancient Cerdo Ibérico pigs that freely roam the vast woodlands of western Spain, feasting on acorns known as 'bellotas'. These singular creatures are cherished for their pure genetic lineage, untouched by crossbreeding, allowing them to thrive naturally under the open sky.
Autumn brings a bounty to these lands where the pigs indulge in sweet acorns, grasses, and herbs. Gaining weight daily during acorn season, this indulgence infuses their meat with the rich, nutty flavor that distinguishes it from all others. The resulting marbled fat, akin to the finest olive oil, delivers a taste that is both lush and healthful.
