ORIGIN
1879
At Cinco Jotas, we are not extraordinary, but what we do truly is.
Everything started back in 1879 with our great-grandparents: they were the first to successfully create the perfect 100 % Iberian Acorn-fed ham.

What is it that makes Cinco Jotas so extraordinary?
Cinco Jotas goes way beyond Black Label quality standards,, selecting the finest animals and ensuring even higher standards of rearing that those set by the legislation. Cinco Jotas is made in Jabugo, the source of the finest ibérico ham with a unique micro-climate and terroir ideal for curing hams. The natural conditions of the centuries-old cellars and the local knowledge of the master craftsmen, are vital to ensure that Cinco Jotas represents the highest and most exclusive quality.
From its origins until this very day, Cinco Jotas has always been sustainable by nature. Respect for the natural environment and animal welfare has always been an integral part of our brand, since the outset. In the heart of the Sierra de Aracena mountains, in Spain's dehesa, Cinco Jotas has developed a controlled livestock farm, on a limited scale, which respects and protects the animals, their rearing and surroundings.
Making a Cinco Jotas ham is a manual process, implying years of dedication and the constant improvement of an extraordinary process. Its not just a artisanal craft, its a whole artform. The masters, who have every right to call themselves artists, work in the desire to achieve excellence in each piece. They are obsessive over details and passionate about creating unique Cinco Jotas products, true works of art.
The flavours and aromas of Cinco Jotas are unique, exquisite and unmistakeable. No one can fail to be moved by them. With a tender, juicy texture, intense aromas and a flavour that evokes its origin - acorns, toasted hazelnuts, damp wood and wild flowers - Cinco Jotas is an honest, natural product, with a nutritional value in line with its taste.
Cinco Jotas is much more than the finest ham. With its unique pieces, true works of art, Cinco Jotas jamón is a product of worldwide acclaim, offering the privilege of an exclusive experience. A global icon of gourmet luxury that transcends the jamón ibérico category, Cinco Jotas has found its way onto the tables of the world's finest restaurants.
