The legend of Cinco Jotas hides much more than the best ham in the world: it is the story of many generations who, for centuries, have learned to coexist with nature until they achieved something sublime: the 100% Iberian pig breed. Only from the meat of these animals can a perfect balance between flavor, texture, and aroma be achieved. Thanks to this unique breed, it is possible to conquer the authentic treasure of our heritage.Where the world"s most exquisite flavor begins to take shape One of the secrets of the supreme quality of Iberian meat lies in the idyllic environment that for centuries has been the home of the Iberian pig. Undoubtedly, we are talking about the ancient dehesas of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula, an incomparable setting where man and nature have coexisted in perfect harmony for generations. Only this way has this true paradise been preserved, whose nature is responsible for producing the main food of the Iberian pig: the acorn. It is this exquisite delicacy that explains why Iberian meat is incomparable. The acorn is responsible for its nuances, flavors, and textures that seduce even the most discerning palates. This is Iberian meat: a raw material with fascinating organoleptic attributes. Every Cinco Jotas product is the best proof of the genuineness of 100% Iberian pork. The result: a legendary flavor.The heart of our story Achieving perfection is not easy, and Cinco Jotas would not be the brand behind exquisite Iberian products if it were only based on the breeding of an incomparable breed. Beyond animal care, the tireless dedication each of our masters puts into the detailed process of producing the pieces is part of the legend. Just like the century-old cellars that have been part of our history since 1879. These exquisite places enclose an atmosphere that maintains a perfect balance between humidity and temperature. Our cellars in Jabugo are the perfect place for the meat of these Iberian pigs to reach its full potential. For this, Cinco Jotas has experts in each of the phases of production to ensure the highest quality of Cinco Jotas products.Exquisiteness in its purest form Every Iberian product that leaves our cellars stands out for its unmatched flavor and quality. The exquisiteness of Iberian meat is one of the best-kept secrets of our gastronomy and, at the same time, the best fruit of our land. A true gift from nature. A flavor that, upon contact with the palate, releases unknown nuances and emits sparks that transport you to the dehesas, home of the world"s most excellent breed. In addition to its fascinating flavor, Iberian meat has well-established virtues in terms of health. The fats from Iberian pigs contain more than 54% oleic acid, which has a beneficial effect on our health by helping prevent cardiovascular diseases.
