About 16-17 Lbs Cinco Jotas (5J) Spanish Acorn-fed
Known unabashedly as "the finest hams in the world", these limited-production hams are so sought after that distributors must reserve and pay for them 2-3 years in advance. This 5J jamón kit comes with everything you need- a gorgeous, ready-to-eat 16-17 lb Cinco Jotas jamón, a sturdy wooden ham stand, and a flexible ham knife. What makes 5J hams 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 at least three 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. It is the most appreciated Spanish ham in the world.
