5J (Cinco Jotas) boneless Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is the pinnacle of Spanish gastronomy — an icon of culinary excellence revered by chefs and connoisseurs around the world. Weighing approximately 7 lbs, this exquisite jamón is crafted exclusively from 100% purebred Ibérico pigs raised free-range in the dehesa woodlands of the Sierra de Aracena. During the Montanera season, the pigs feast on acorns and wild herbs, developing the intricate marbling and rich, nuanced flavor that distinguish true bellota ham. This remarkable natural diet, combined with an artisanal curing tradition perfected over nearly 150 years, results in a product that transcends the category itself.
Each ham begins its journey with hand-salting and a meticulous curing process in Jabugo, a village whose microclimate and terroir are world-renowned for producing the finest Ibérico hams. Master artisans, many of whom have devoted their lives to this craft, guide each piece through its aging process with precision and intuition. Every detail—from the balance of humidity to the way the ham breathes in the cellar air—is calibrated to achieve extraordinary depth of flavor, silky texture, and aromatic complexity.
The boneless format allows this prized jamón to be carved and portioned with ease while preserving every ounce of its refinement. The interior reveals glistening marbled fat intertwined with deep ruby-red meat. Its aroma is long and elegant, with warm notes of acorns, toasted hazelnuts, thyme, and wood. On the palate, it’s a masterpiece: meltingly tender, balanced, and layered with flavors that evolve and linger—nutty, savory, sweet, and profoundly umami. The mouthfeel is unctuous yet refined, with a finish that speaks to both the land and the craftsmanship behind it.
Since 1879, 5J (Cinco Jotas) has set the global gold standard for Ibérico ham, producing pieces that are regarded not simply as food, but as edible works of art. This boneless offering embodies the brand’s legacy at its most elevated: a rare and extraordinary delicacy designed for the world’s most discerning tables.
