Founded in 1879, Cinco Jotas is the legendary name that produces the most exclusive 100% acorn-fed ibérico ham in the world. Raised free range in the meadows of Jabugo (Southwest Spain), Cinco Jotas Iberian-native pigs feed on acorns, roots and herbs. The artisanalmethods passed on from generation to generation have helped created a product that respects the local culture and the artisanal process. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, the Jabugo natural parks offer a unique microclimate to obtain what many call the best ham in the world. Nowadays, Cinco Jotas is an outstanding gourmet product and one of Spain´s National Treasures, sold in the most exclusive restaurants and gourmet shops in over 45 countries worldwide.
Cinco Jotas ham may be consumed any time of the day, either on its own or accompanied by other quality products. It pairs especially well with Jerez sherry and other sherry wines.
