If you're looking for the best ham in the world, experts and connoisseurs will point you in the direction of Spain and its famed Iberico Ham from Pata Negra pigs. But if you already know that Iberico is the best, but you're looking for the best Iberico ham, they will direct you to the town of Jabugo and to producer Cinco Jotas (5J), Spain's foremost breeder and producer of Iberico. Using 100% Iberico pigs with impecable, traceable genetics, they raise them free range in the gorgeous Dehesa, forests and woodlands rich in flavorful grasses and acorn-producing trees, which the pigs happily feed on, adding wonderful, distinctly acorn-flavored, buttery fat to their already privileged genetic profile.
