The 100% Iberico Bellota Ham Cinco Jotas is a whole piece weighing between 8 and 8.5 kg, made from free-range Iberian pigs. Its production relies on a diet rich in acorns, which gives it exceptional flavor and aroma, characteristics of a unique high-quality product.
The 100% Iberico Bellota Ham Cinco Jotas is a true delicacy coming from the hind legs of the 100% Iberian pig, which are raised in freedom in the Dehesas of southwest Spain. These dehesas provide optimal feeding based on acorns, allowing oleic acids to infiltrate the meat, giving it exquisite flavors and aromas. This process has been part of Spain's gastronomic heritage since 1879, resulting in ham of unique quality.
When served at room temperature, its lean color presents various shades from deep red to pink. The marbled fat glistens appealingly, and "crystals" can be seen, indicating its slow curing process and low salinity. The texture of the meat is soft and juicy, while parts like the tip and the shank provide a firmer chew, intensifying the pleasure of tasting it.
On the nose, an intense aroma develops with notes of acorn, wet grass, and thyme, accompanied by subtle roasted hints that awaken the senses. The flavor reveals nuances of roasted hazelnuts and wildflowers, with a notable persistence in the mouth that invites continued enjoyment. Each bite is a tribute to the tradition and care preserved over generations. It is undoubtedly a unique gastronomic experience that deserves to be fully enjoyed.
