Cinco Jotas Jamón Ibérico de Bellota – 450 g premium cut (100% Ibérico, hind leg)

The Cinco Jotas Jamón Ibérico de Bellota in the 450g piece form is the perfect choice for lovers of authentic Ibérico flavor – conveniently portioned, yet with the full character of a whole hind leg. It comes from Jabugo in Andalusia , the birthplace of the Cinco Jotas brand, which has stood for uncompromising quality and genuine craftsmanship since 1879.

This ham is obtained from the hind leg of purebred, 100% Iberian pigs that roam freely on the Dehesas – the oak-covered pastures of southern Spain. During the acorn-fattening season (October to March), they feed exclusively on acorns, herbs, and roots. This natural diet gives the meat its distinctive, mild, nutty flavor and delicate marbling.

After up to five years of maturation in the natural cellars of Jabugo – without artificial refrigeration, relying solely on the climate of the Sierra de Aracena – the ham is carefully boned and cut into convenient 450g pieces . This allows it to be perfectly sliced ​​and portioned without any loss of texture or aroma.

Sensors:
Jamón Ibérico de Bellota displays a deep red color with fine, even veins of fat. Its flavor combines sweet and salty notes with hints of roasted nuts, wood, and acorn. The texture is creamy, the finish long and balanced – a delight that melts in the mouth.

Thanks to its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids – especially oleic acid – it is considered not only culinarily unique but also nutritionally valuable. In Spain, Ibérico pigs are affectionately called "olives on paws" .

This ham carries the "Brida Negra" quality grade – the highest classification in Spain. Only about 1% of all air-dried hams reach this category. Cinco Jotas surpasses even these standards through strict animal selection, long curing, and meticulous handcrafting – a true benchmark product for connoisseurs.

Hind leg instead of shoulder:
This cut comes from the hind leg of the Iberian pig – the true Jamón Ibérico de Bellota . Unlike the Paleta (shoulder), the hind leg is larger, finer-grained, and more aromatically rounded. It matures longer, developing more complex flavors and a silky texture – the king of Spanish hams.

Recommended for enjoyment:
Best served thinly sliced ​​at room temperature to allow the aroma and fat structure to develop optimally. Ideal with dry sherry, full-bodied red wines, or simply on fresh bread with a drizzle of olive oil.

Sustainability & Origin:
Cinco Jotas stands for respectful animal husbandry and sustainable management of the oak pastures (Dehesas) in Andalusia. This form of extensive farming preserves biodiversity, protects the ecosystem, and strengthens local family farms.
