5 Jotas acorn-fed ham
Considered by experts as one of the great icons of Ibérico, 5J ham combines tradition, genetics and a unique environment. Its fine fat marbling, rich in oleic acid, delivers a silky texture and an intense yet balanced flavour. At Alba Ibérico we offer whole pieces ideal for slicing at home and enjoying every slice, as well as options designed for gifting.
5 Jotas acorn-fed shoulder ham
5 Jotas paleta is made with the same care as the ham, but from the foreleg. Its shorter curing time intensifies flavour and concentrates aromas, offering a more powerful experience on the palate. It’s an excellent choice if you want the essence of 5J in a more manageable format and, typically, at a more accessible price point.
5 Jotas sliced ham
For those who want to enjoy excellence without slicing, our 5 Jotas sliced format comes in ready-to-serve portions and is vacuum-packed to preserve its qualities. Perfect for aperitifs, get-togethers and gourmet gifts: open, let it sit for a few minutes and enjoy.

Frequently asked questions about buying 5 Jotas ham online
We answer the most common questions before buying 5 Jotas ham online: formats, differences between ham and paleta, vacuum-packed sliced, storage and shipping.
What is 5 Jotas ham (5J)?
5 Jotas ham (5J or Cinco Jotas) is a premium acorn-fed Ibérico ham made with long natural curing. At Alba Ibérico you can buy it online as a whole piece, paleta or vacuum-packed sliced format.
What’s the difference between 5 Jotas ham and 5 Jotas paleta?
Ham (hind leg) is usually larger and often more ‘rounded’ in flavour. Paleta (foreleg) is smaller and often more aromatic and intense, in a more manageable format.
Which format is better: whole piece or vacuum-packed 5J sliced?
Whole piece if you enjoy slicing and the way the ham evolves at home. Vacuum-packed sliced if you want convenience, perfect portions and an easy open-and-serve option at any time.
How is 5 Jotas sliced prepared?
5J sliced is presented in ready-to-serve portions and vacuum-packed to preserve aroma, texture and juiciness.
How long does shipping take when buying 5 Jotas ham online?
Delivery takes 24–48 hours in mainland Spain (depending on destination). See details in our shipping policy.
How does the order arrive? Is it well protected?
We prepare every order with protective packaging and a premium presentation, ideal for gifting too. Vacuum-packed sliced also helps maintain quality during transport.
How should I serve 5 Jotas sliced so it tastes its best?
We recommend taking the pack out of the fridge and letting it come to room temperature for a few minutes before opening to better appreciate aroma and texture.
How do I store 5 Jotas ham once opened?
Whole piece: cover the cut surface and keep it in a cool, dry place away from heat and light. Vacuum-packed sliced: keep refrigerated and let it temper before serving, always following the pack instructions.
Which 5 Jotas option is best for gifting?
For a premium gift, 5J ham is the classic choice. If you prioritise convenience and a flawless presentation, 5J vacuum-packed sliced is especially practical.
