How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.

5J (Cinco Jotas) Paleta Ibérica de Bellota is a remarkable expression of Spain’s legendary charcuterie tradition, crafted from the foreleg (shoulder) of 100% purebred Ibérico pigs raised free-range in the dehesa woodlands of the Sierra de Aracena. During the Montanera season, the pigs graze freely on acorns, wild herbs, and native grasses, developing the exquisite marbling and rich flavor that define true bellota pork. The paleta, known for its slightly bolder, more concentrated flavor than the leg, offers a uniquely satisfying experience for connoisseurs of jamón ibérico.

Each shoulder is salted by hand and then cured slowly in the centuries-old cellars of Jabugo, where Cinco Jotas has been perfecting its craft since 1879. The region’s unique microclimate, combined with generations of artisanal expertise, creates the ideal environment for curing. Master craftsmen oversee every stage of the process, ensuring that each piece meets Cinco Jotas’ uncompromising quality standards.

Available in 1.5-ounce or 3-ounce packs, this pre-sliced paleta is carved to the perfect thinness, preserving its silky texture and releasing its complex aromas. The color ranges from deep red to soft pink, beautifully marbled with creamy fat that melts at body temperature. On the nose, it’s intense and aromatic with notes of acorns, toasted nuts, thyme, and damp woodland. On the palate, the flavor is concentrated and complex—nutty, savory, slightly sweet, and full of umami depth. It lingers elegantly, evolving as it melts on the tongue.

5J Paleta Ibérica de Bellota is an extraordinary product designed to be enjoyed at its purest: on charcuterie boards, as part of tapas spreads, or alongside fine wines. A true icon of Spanish gastronomy, it embodies the artistry, terroir, and time-honored methods that have made Cinco Jotas world-renowned for nearly 150 years.

Ingredients: Pure breed Iberico pork, sea salt, seasoning (sodium citrate, potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite).
