Cinco Jotas

Cinco Jotas is made in Jabugo, in the Sierra de Aracena mountains, where the company runs a controlled livestock farm in the dehesa (the Spanish oak pasture). The brand says its story began in 1879 with the founders' great-grandparents, and that its free-range 100% Ibérico pigs feed on acorns during the montanera, the autumn and winter grazing season.

We carry Cinco Jotas 100% Ibérico de bellota (acorn-fed) in several formats. As of October 2026, prices run from $64.95 for a 3 oz hand-carved pouch to $1,695 for a whole bone-in ham of 16-17 lb, with smaller whole hams of 12.5-13 lb ($1,395) and 14-15.5 lb ($1,449). There is also a cured lomo (pork loin) at $139 and a gift box with ham, stand and knife at $1,699.

How to choose: for a first taste, start with the 3 oz hand-carved ham. For a table or a celebration, the 9-11 lb bone-in shoulder ($749) is the smaller and lower-priced whole piece.
