Iberico Shoulder Ham
Short Description
Cinco Jotas 5J Acorn Fed 100% Iberico Shoulder Ham This is the easiest way to sample the legendary Cinco Jotas Jabugo ham. Like our whole Cinco Jotas hams, this is the top of the line: 100% purebred pata negra, and acorn-fed. It's hand-sliced too. Makes a nice gift. 80 grams. What makes 5J ham special. Sánchez Romero Carvajal has been producing Cinco Jotas Iberian Acorn Ham in Jabugo for over a hundred years, since 1879. One of the company's goals (some would say obsessions) has been to preserve the purity of the species- Cinco Jotas pigs are 100% pure Iberian, descended directly from the prehistoric Mediterranean boar. Almost all other ham producers use cross-bred pigs of strains of up to 15% English, as English pigs weigh more and produce more offspring. The incomparable taste and quality of this Pure Iberian ham is largely due to this attention to genetic selection, which undergoes strict quality control to guarantee and safeguard the purity of this inimitable breed worldwide. The long curing process of 5 Jotas Jabugo Ham lasts 18-36 months (normally two years) and takes place in the natural cold environment of Sierra de Aracena outside the town of Jabugo. Jabugo's special microclimate and vast pastures make it the perfect environment to rear pure Iberian pigs and produce perfect pata negra ham. The Maestro Jamonero or Master Ham Craftsman supervises each stage in the artisan production of Cinco Jotas ham, watching over it for days, months and even years with a critical eye, to achieve true 5J. quality. Once the hams have been cured, they go through a rigorous selection process to ensure that only the best pieces, which reach the most exquisite organoleptic standards and which offer unrivaled quality, are selected. 5J Ham has a lingering aroma and an incomparable taste and bouquet. When sliced, it has a uniform colour with myriad shiny streaks of accumulated fat. It is the most appreciated Spanish ham in the world. Cinco Jotas ham can be tasted in fine restaurants called Mesones 5J, which can be found in the most important Spanish cities: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville and Jabugo. Thankfully, you can also buy it from nogogo! Please allow one extra day for delivery for Cinco Jotas ham.Long Description
