A large Iberian ham from Jabugo

Cinco Jotas 5J Bellota Pata Negra whole boneless ham is produced in Jabugo, Andalusia, by the prestigious Cinco Jotas company, founded in 1879. This region is one of Spain's most renowned for the production of Iberian ham thanks to its climate and dehesa landscapes, which are particularly suited to Iberian pig farming.

Dehesas and free-range farming

Iberian pigs roam freely in the dehesa landscapes of natural pastures and holm oaks. This unique environment promotes extensive farming in keeping with Iberian tradition and contributes directly to the exceptional quality of the meat.

The montanera and acorn feeding

During the montanera, an essential period in Iberian pig farming, the pigs feed mainly on acorns that have fallen from the oak trees and on natural resources found in the pastures. Each pig can consume between 8 and 10 kg of acorns per day. This diet promotes the natural infiltration of fat into the meat and contributes to the melt-in-the-mouth texture and rich aroma of Iberian bellota ham.
