5J (Cinco Jotas) Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is considered one of the most exceptional and prestigious hams in the world. Weighing approximately 16 pounds, each bone-in ham is made exclusively from 100% purebred Ibérico pigs that roam freely through the dehesas of the Sierra de Aracena in Spain. During the Montanera season, these pigs graze on acorns and wild herbs, developing the signature marbling and complex flavor that define true acorn-fed jamón ibérico. This careful, natural upbringing—combined with the town of Jabugo’s unique microclimate and centuries-old curing methods—results in a product of unparalleled depth and quality.
Cinco Jotas has been producing Ibérico ham since 1879, setting the standard for excellence well beyond Spain’s Black Label classification. Each ham is salted by hand with Atlantic sea salt, then aged slowly in historic cellars. Master artisans monitor temperature, humidity, and aroma at every stage, using generations-old intuition to bring each piece to peak maturity. The result is a ham with a glistening marbled texture, a deep ruby hue, and an unmistakable aroma that blends notes of acorn, thyme, toasted wood, and damp grass.
On the palate, Cinco Jotas is silky and intensely flavorful, with layered notes of acorns, toasted hazelnuts, wildflowers, and umami depth. The natural oleic acid from the acorn-rich diet contributes to both its melt-in-the-mouth feel and its unique nutritional profile.
More than a ham, Cinco Jotas is considered a culinary work of art—a global icon of Spanish gastronomy served at some of the world’s finest restaurants. Its unmatched flavor, heritage, and craftsmanship make it a true expression of the dehesa’s terroir and the artisans’ skill who bring it to life.
