Jamon Iberico de Bellota

5J (Cinco Jotas) Jamón Ibérico de Bellota represents the pinnacle of Spanish charcuterie, bringing the heritage and flavor of the world’s most celebrated ham to your table in a ready-to-serve format. Made exclusively from 100% purebred Ibérico pigs raised free-range in the dehesa woodlands of the Sierra de Aracena, each ham reflects the unique terroir and ecosystem of this storied region. During the Montanera season, the pigs graze on acorns, wild herbs, and native grasses, developing the exceptional marbling and rich complexity that define bellota ham. The result is a ham that has come to symbolize Spain’s culinary excellence worldwide.

Every 5J ham is produced in Jabugo, a town whose distinctive microclimate is ideal for curing. Once the hams are hand-salted with sea salt from the Atlantic, they are slowly cured in centuries-old cellars under the watchful care of master artisans. These craftsmen rely on their senses and intuition, passed down through generations, to monitor each ham as it develops its unique aroma, flavor, and texture. This meticulous attention ensures that every slice of 5J jamón meets the highest standard of quality.

Pre-sliced into 4-ounce or 8-ounce portions, this jamón offers the convenience of expertly carved, paper-thin slices without compromising on craftsmanship. Each piece glistens with marbled fat, a hallmark of the acorn-rich diet, and ranges in color from deep ruby to soft pink. On the nose, it delivers complex aromas of acorns, toasted nuts, thyme, and damp woodland. On the palate, it’s silky and unctuous, with layers of flavor that evolve as it melts: toasted hazelnuts, acorns, wild herbs, delicate sweetness, and a long, elegant umami finish.

More than a ham, 5J Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is considered a true culinary work of art—a global icon of luxury gastronomy served in some of the world’s finest restaurants. The combination of natural acorn feeding, slow artisanal curing, and expert hand-slicing ensures a product of unrivaled character and refinement. Ideal for tapas, charcuterie boards, special occasions, or savoring on its own, each slice reflects 5J’s unwavering commitment to excellence since 1879.
