Why choose 5 Jotas sliced shoulder ham

Choosing a 5 Jotas shoulder ham means enjoying the same tradition and excellence as the leg, in a more accessible format with an even more intense flavour. It comes from 100% purebred Iberian pigs raised free-range in the pastures of Jabugo and fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera season. Its artisanal curing process concentrates aromas and nuances, delivering a unique gastronomic experience, ideal both for everyday enjoyment and as an exceptional gourmet gift.

Authenticity of the Iberian breed

The 5 Jotas shoulder comes from 100% purebred Iberian pigs, raised free-range in the dehesas of Jabugo. This genetic purity guarantees meat marbled with fat rich in oleic acid, which provides juiciness, a smooth texture, and a distinctive flavour full of character.

Concentrated artisanal curing

Its curing process is shorter than that of the leg, which intensifies the flavours and enhances the natural aromas of acorns and the dehesa. Each piece matures slowly in traditional cellars, reaching the perfect balance between intensity and elegance.

Prestige and tradition

Like the ham, the 5 Jotas shoulder enjoys international prestige and is valued by chefs and Iberian ham lovers around the world. It is part of Spain’s cultural and gastronomic heritage, backed by more than 140 years of excellence.
