5J (Cinco Jotas) hand-carved Paleta Ibérica de Bellota offers the exceptional flavor of Spain’s most iconic ham in a convenient, ready-to-serve format. Made from 100% purebred Ibérico pigs raised free-range in the dehesa woodlands of the Sierra de Aracena, this paleta (shoulder) develops its signature marbling and nutty, complex flavor as the pigs graze on acorns and wild herbs during the Montanera season. Each shoulder is cured slowly in the centuries-old cellars of Jabugo, where the unique microclimate and the expertise of master artisans bring out its extraordinary depth of aroma and taste.
This product includes two 1.5-ounce packs of expertly hand-carved paleta, sliced thin to highlight its silky texture and melt-in-the-mouth richness. Paleta offers a slightly bolder, more concentrated flavor than the leg, with notes of acorns, toasted nuts, thyme, and a lingering umami finish. Its elegant presentation makes it ideal for tapas, charcuterie boards, wine pairings, or elevated at-home entertaining—no carving required.
Since 1879, 5J (Cinco Jotas) has set the global standard for Ibérico ham, combining heritage, terroir, and artisanal mastery. Each slice reflects the care, precision, and natural richness that make Cinco Jotas a true culinary treasure.
Ingredients: Pure breed Iberico pork, sea salt, seasoning (sodium citrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite).
