Cincos Jotas is one of the best ham producers in the world, with top-quality 100% ibérico de bellota ham that is incredibly fatty, silky and velvety, but expensive — worth it for the experience, but you can live happily with 50% ibérico afterwards.

Jamón 100% Ibérico de Bellota
This is the fifth essence of ham-ness. It's super soft, it oozes the essential oil of the acorns these pigs fed on. If we waited a bit longer — which won't happen because we're too hungry — this ham at room temperature would start sweating on its own. It's very different from Italian ham, even in mouthfeel: much fattier, silky and velvety. This particular ham isn't for when you're hungry, it's for pleasure. It's a waste to put it in a sandwich, and it costs a lot — this plate of 80g is €26, which is crazy. You only treat yourself to this when you really want to enjoy yourself.
