100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder – Cinco Jotas – DO Jabugo
The 100% Iberian Bellota Shoulder – Cinco Jotas is a true treasure of Spanish gastronomy. It comes from 100% Iberian pigs, raised free-range in the pastures of the Iberian Peninsula, and fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera (free-range) period. This diet is crucial, as it gives the meat its marbling of infiltrated fat and its characteristic and unmistakable flavor, aroma, and texture.
The curing of each Cinco Jotas shoulder is an art. It is carried out naturally in the cellars of Jabugo, Huelva, where the microclimate plays a fundamental role. The patience and expertise of the master ham makers transform each piece during a curing process that can last between 24 and 36 months.
Each slice of Cinco Jotas Shoulder Ham is a sensory experience. Its intense red color, glossy fat, and complex aroma evoke the richness of the pastureland. Upon tasting it, you’ll enjoy a deep, nuanced flavor that melts in your mouth.
It is, without a doubt, a product that represents the ultimate expression of Iberian quality and tradition.
