Cinco Jotas - Jamón Ibérico de Bellota (Black label) 100% Pata Negra, Free Range, & Acorn fed (1.5 oz)
Cinco Jotas Jamón Ibérico de Bellota — Black Label, 100% Pata Negra (1.5 oz.)
Widely regarded as the finest ham in the world, Cinco Jotas Jamón Ibérico de Bellota Black Label is the ultimate expression of Spanish charcuterie. Sourced exclusively from 100% pure-bred Ibérico pigs — the legendary Pata Negra — raised free range in the ancient dehesas (oak meadows) of Jabugo in southwest Spain, this is acorn-fed ham at its most extraordinary.
The process is unhurried by design: each pig takes nearly two years to reach full development, roaming freely and feeding on bellotas (acorns) that impart the ham’s signature nutty, complex flavor. After slaughter, the legs are naturally cured for a minimum of three years in Cinco Jotas’ historic cellars in Jabugo — developing an unparalleled depth of flavor, silky marbled fat, and a long, lingering finish.
Tasting Notes
Intensely savory with rich, nutty complexity from the acorn diet. Silky, melt-in-the-mouth texture with beautifully marbled fat. Notes of toasted nuts, dried herbs, and a sweet, lingering finish. Best enjoyed thinly sliced at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions
Serve on its own to appreciate its full complexity, or alongside Manchego, Marcona almonds, and crusty bread. Pairs beautifully with Fino Sherry, Cava, or a structured Tempranillo.
