Like the finest caviar, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is the ultimate of its kind. Cinco Jotas is known as one of the elite brands of Ibérico ham in the world. In fact, the word Jabugo, the town made famous by Cinco Jotas, is now synonymous with top quality Ibérico ham.
Cinco Jotas uses only 100% genetically pure bred Ibérico pigs that live their entire lives roaming the countryside of Spain. Other companies will cross breed Ibérico pigs with other breeds to increase the litter size and raw meat production. Cinco Jotas prefers to use only 100% pure Ibérico even though it is more expensive.
The hams come from an ancient breed of pig, Cerdo Ibérico, which has been roaming the woodland meadows of western Spain feeding on acorns for thousands of years. Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is the pride of Spain, and Spaniards consume the vast majority of the limited number of hams produced in their own country.
Each fall a traditional group of breeders set aside a select group of young pigs, allowing them to roam the dehesa woodlands. There they feast upon acorns which are falling in abundance from the holm oak and cork trees. They gorge themselves, putting on at least two pounds of weight each day!
When it is time for their sacrifice (the Spanish term for slaughter), these genetically unique animals produce Jamón Ibérico de Bellota hams that are marbled with rich golden fat infused with the flavor of the Ibérico pigs' favorite food: the acorn -'bellota' in Spanish. Remarkably, a good portion of which is mono-unsaturated, similar to healthy olive oil. Sliced paper-thin, it glistens at room temperature and provides an rich nutty flavor and tender texture.

Use and Care
Store your boneless jamón in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic or butcher paper.
Boneless hams can be divided into pieces or can be sliced with an electric slicer. Prior to using an electric slicer, we recommend putting the ham in the freezer for about 20 minutes to make it easier to slice. Extra pieces can be vacuum sealed, or tightly wrapped, and stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 weeks.
Small white spots are amino acids found in aged meat and cheese products and are perfectly safe to eat.
Serve the slices at room temperature.
