Like the finest caviar, Jamón Ibérico de Bellota is the ultimate of its kind. 5J, or Cinco Jotas, is referred to as one of the vital elite brands of Ibérico ham on the planet. In truth, the word Jabugo, the town made famous by 5J – Cinco Jotas, is now synonymous with top of the range Ibérico ham. 5J – 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. 5J – Cinco Jotas prefers to use only 100% pure Ibérico even supposing 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 sets aside a select group of young pigs, letting them 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 no less than two pounds of weight every 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, very similar to healthy olive oil. Sliced paper-thin, it glistens at room temperature and provides a rich nutty flavor and tender texture.
