About Cinco Jotas Premium Ibérico Ham

Cinco Jotas Ham: The Crown Jewel of Spanish Gastronomy

Experience the legendary Cinco Jotas ham, widely regarded as the world's finest jamón ibérico. For over 140 years, this prestigious house has maintained an unwavering commitment to excellence, producing what connoisseurs consider the ultimate expression of Spanish ham-making artistry.

The Heritage of Cinco Jotas Ham

Each Cinco Jotas ham tells a story of dedication that begins in the ancient oak forests of southwestern Spain. Pure-bred 100% ibérico pigs roam freely in these pastoral paradises, following a centuries-old tradition of natural farming. During the montanera season, these remarkable animals feast exclusively on acorns, herbs, and wild plants, developing the extraordinary marbling and complex flavours that make Cinco Jotas ham incomparable.

The Artistry of Time and Tradition

The mastery behind Cinco Jotas ham lies in its meticulous curing process, which can extend beyond four years. In their historic cellars in Jabugo, master artisans carefully monitor each ham's development, ensuring it reaches the peak of its aromatic and flavour potential. This patient aging process results in ham with an unmistakable character:

• A deep ruby-red colour with crystalline streaks of golden fat

• An intense, complex aroma with notes of nuts and forest floor

• A buttery texture that melts effortlessly on the tongue

• A long-lasting, elegant flavour that evolves with each bite
