Discover the Exquisite Taste of Cinco Jotas Bone-In Ibérico Ham Shoulder

Indulge in the rich, complex flavors of the Whole Bone-In Ibérico Ham Shoulder Bellota, crafted by the legendary Cinco Jotas (5J). Known worldwide for their excellence, Cinco Jotas sources this gourmet delicacy from 100% purebred Iberian pigs raised in the natural pastures of Spain’s renowned dehesa. Fed on acorns during the montanera season, these free-range pigs produce a ham shoulder with unparalleled marbling, nutty flavors, and melt-in-your-mouth texture—perfectly capturing the essence of Spanish gastronomy.

Why Choose Cinco Jotas Bone-In Ibérico Ham Shoulder?

  • 100% Purebred Iberian Pigs: Raised in the lush dehesas, these pigs live a free-range lifestyle that enhances the quality of their meat.
  • Acorn-Fed Diet: A diet of acorns and natural grasses during montanera enriches the meat with high-quality fat and deep flavor.
  • Rich in Oleic Acid: Contains heart-healthy fats similar to those in olive oil, contributing to its silky texture.
  • Artisanal Quality: Expertly cured using time-honored techniques, delivering a ham with an exquisite balance of savory and nutty notes.

Paleta Ibérica vs. Jamón Serrano - What’s the Difference?

Understanding the unique qualities of Paleta Ibérica and Jamón Serrano helps you appreciate the craftsmanship behind each:

  • Paleta Ibérica de Bellota: Derived from the shoulder of acorn-fed Iberian pigs, the smaller size and higher fat content offer rich, juicy flavors and a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The shorter curing process creates a more intense flavor compared to a full Jamón Ibérico.
  • Jamón Serrano: Sourced from white pigs, Serrano ham is leaner with a firmer texture and simpler flavor profile, lacking the complexity of Paleta Ibérica.

How to Slice Cinco Jotas Whole Bone-In Ibérico Ham Shoulder

Slicing your Paleta Ibérica may seem daunting, but with the right tools, it becomes an enjoyable experience:

  • Ham Holder (Jamonero): Provides stability for precise and safe slicing.
  • Flexible Ham Knife: Ideal for achieving thin, even slices that highlight the marbling and texture.
  • Sharpening Steel: Keeps your blade sharp for smooth cuts.

With a little practice, you’ll master the art of slicing and enjoy the authentic flavors of this gourmet treasure.
