Cinco Jotas ham, hailing from the town of Jabugo, Spain, is revered as one of the finest Iberian hams in the world. What sets it apart is its lineage—made exclusively from purebred, free-range Iberian pigs that roam oak forests, feeding on acorns during the “montanera” season. This acorn-rich diet gives the ham its unparalleled nutty flavor and distinctive aroma.

The curing process is another key to its excellence. It can take up to five years, during which time the ham is meticulously aged in natural cellars, allowing the flavors to deepen and intensify. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth texture with rich, complex flavors—balancing sweet, salty, and savory notes that linger long after the first bite.

Cinco Jotas is a celebration of Spanish heritage and artisanal craftsmanship. Every step, from the pigs’ care to the traditional curing process, is carried out with precision and passion. It’s not just a ham, but an experience of luxurious indulgence, making it highly coveted by chefs and food lovers worldwide. For many, it’s the pinnacle of jamón ibérico, and once tasted, it leaves an unforgettable impression.

At Spanish Pig, we’re delighted to offer an exceptional tasting experience for lovers of fine cured meats: the Monte Nevado Jamón Trio. This exclusive set brings together three of Spain’s most iconic hams, each hand-carved to order for perfect texture and flavour.

The journey begins with 100g of Serrano ham, cured for 24 months—a beautifully balanced ham with delicate saltiness and a tender, savoury profile. Next is 100g of Iberico de Cebo, cured for two years. Richer and deeper in flavour, this ham offers that signature Iberico nuttiness and marbled texture that lingers on the palate. Finally, the crown jewel: 100g of Iberico de Bellota, acorn-fed and cured for an incredible four years. Intensely aromatic, buttery, and complex, this is jamón at its most exquisite.

Individually, these hams would cost $130—but we’re offering this beautifully curated trio for just $99, making it an ideal introduction to the diversity of Spain’s cured ham tradition, or a luxurious gift for any gourmet.

All three are produced by Monte Nevado, one of Spain’s most respected ham houses, and carved by hand here at Spanish Pig for a truly artisanal finish.

And if this trio leaves you wanting more, we invite you to explore the rest of our jamón collection—a world of melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces waiting to be discovered. Each one tells its own story of time, care, and tradition—ready to be savoured, shared, and remembered.

Introducing the Ibérico de Bellota Tasting Trio – a luxurious selection created by Spanish Pig to highlight the rich diversity of Spain’s finest cured ham. This curated box includes three distinct hand-carved servings, offering a true connoisseur’s journey through the world of jamón ibérico de bellota.

First, you’ll enjoy 70g of Cinco Jotas (5J) Paleta Ibérica de Bellota — that’s shoulder ham from purebred Ibérico pigs raised on acorns and free-roaming in the dehesas of Jabugo. Shoulder ham is slightly more intense and marbled, giving a wonderfully rich and savoury bite.

Next is 100g of Montenevado Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, hand-carved and cured in the mountain air of the Sierra de Guadarrama. With a balanced, nutty depth and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, this ham offers a beautiful contrast to the 5J, showing how different terroirs and curing methods influence flavour.

Rounding out the trio is 50g of classic Cinco Jotas (5J) Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, hand-carved for the most elegant experience. Delicate, buttery, and nuanced, it’s the gold standard of Spanish ham.

Whether you're hosting a tasting, gifting a foodie, or indulging in a solo moment of Spanish luxury, this set delivers unmatched quality and craftsmanship in every slice. Just add bread, manchego, and a glass of wine — no passport required.

Pure. Exquisite. Unmistakably Ibérico.

Paleta Ibérica de Bellota Extrem is a masterpiece of Spanish charcuterie, crafted from the foreleg of 100% purebred, acorn-fed Ibérico pigs raised in the rolling dehesas of Extremadura. These pigs roam freely through oak forests, feasting on acorns and natural pasture during the montanera season, developing the rich intramuscular fat and complex flavor that define true bellota quality.

The paletas are cured for a minimum of 24 months in Extrem’s natural cellars, where the mountain air of Montánchez and the master curers’ expertise work in harmony to create a product of extraordinary depth.

Tasting reveals a full-bodied, intensely aromatic profile: the fat is silky and glossy, melting effortlessly, while the meat delivers a harmonious balance of sweet acorn richness, umami depth, and a gentle saline finish. Compared to jamón, the flavor is slightly more pronounced, offering a robust, rustic elegance that true aficionados adore.

Like its jamón counterpart, Paleta Ibérica de Bellota Extrem holds the prestigious Designation of Origin (DO) Dehesa de Extremadura and has earned accolades for its exceptional quality, including recognition at the Great Taste Awards in London.

This is more than cured ham—it’s a concentrated expression of Spain’s culinary heritage, now available exclusively in Canada through Spanish Pig.
