5 Jotas Iberian Ham (Sánchez Romero)

Iberian pure ham of acorn 5 Jotas

The Southwest Peninsular ranges ensure the best feed for the 5J pure Iberian breed of pig. During the Montanera season, the animals travel some 14 km every day feeding on acorns, their main diet and one that gives them their special taste and aroma features (also helping to reduce harmful cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health) and provides the texture and unique flavour.

For over 130 years, 5J has been using traditional and natural  techniques to make its products, traditions and techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. Its natural cellars are in the Natural Park of Aracena and Picos de Aroche, which forms part of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Sierra Morena. This privileged location allows for the slow, natural curing process that only nature can provide.    

Ingredients: 100% Iberian pork ham, sea salt, antioxidant E-301 (sodium ascorbate), acidity regulator e-331 (iii) (sodium citrate), preservatives E-252 (sodium nitrate)
