5* for 5J, December 20, 2019This is the second year that I have bought a 5J jamon from Ibergour and it has been an excellent experience all round. Extremely reliable, on-time delivery and they were very responsive and helpful with some delivery queries I had. The price was the best I found and the quality is exceptional. Do it!
Worth Saving Up For, November 29, 2019The 5C Cinco Jotas Bellota Pata Negra Ham is absolutely amazing! There are some very good Spanish hams around and some of the best ones have good flavour and some length to the flavour giving a very pleasant after tast. If you like that, then you need to save up some money to get 5C Cinco Jotas because the flavour of the ham is beautifully sweet but not too sweet to disguise the deep, fragrant taste of properly matured ham. AND, the flavour goes on and on and on and even seems to get better and fills every tastebud in the mouth. This ham is just sensational - a few wafer-thin slices of the meat, slightly marbled with the unctuous taste of the oils in the fat and I’m in heaven. A sip or two of a good Fino cleans the palate nicely for the next piece.
Thank you Ibergour for this wonderful ham feast. I have already started my saving scheme to order one for next year!
the perfect christmas, December 11, 2018Yet again i have purchased a 5J Cinco Jotas jamon, and yet agagin it has not let me down.
This for me is the best Jamon on the market. the quick delivery only means you get to start to eat it earlier. Great service and a fantastic jamon.
Decent ham, December 11, 2017I have bought this ham twice this year. The first ham was exceptional and the best we have had. The second not so much, it doesn't have the incredible depth of flavour as the first and there is a lot more fat in it. Not so much that I would consider a return but certainly enough to stop me re-ordering a third ham, especially when considered with the lack of consistency of flavour between the two. Don't get me wrong the second ham is good but the first was truly exceptional and worth every penny.
Good but not so good such the last time., August 14, 2017Good but not so good such the last time. Next time will try another one. Anyway you are the best guys.
Thank you!
Excellent, October 29, 20162nd time buying this product. Excellent quality-will buy again A family favourite. Lasts well in fridge. Very good delivery. Well packed
Great as usual!, October 3, 2016Great product, quick delivery times, uncomplicated communication! Have ordered the 5J couple of times. Always stable quality for a fair price. Can recommend both the product and the shop. A pity, that they do not offer other Spain products any more.
Very good products!, September 26, 2016We are a regular customer. All goods are of high quality and shipping is always accurate. The product arrives in very good condition.
Excellent jamon and service, April 22, 2016Ordered a 7kg ham which arrived at my home in England very promptly. As in past experience, the Cinco Jotas has met and exceeded expectations with a sublime and beautiful flavour and just the right proportion of fat vs meat...highly recommended!
Completely satisfied by the service and the quality of the product, November 12, 2015Great service, fast delivery which is faster this year than the year before, and a great quality product. I will definately order again
Excellent, November 9, 2015My fifth order to Ibergour, their service has always been superb, and the products are also excellent, definitely recommend. 5 Jotas this time, I believe it is the favourite from the examples I have tried.
smooth & tasty, August 28, 2015this is a lovely ham-smooth & tasty-REMINDS ME OF THE BEST IBERICO I HAD IN sPAIN- I will buy again
Beautiful Ham, October 17, 2014wonderful intensely flavoured ham, just as I remember from my visit to Spain. I will certainly be back for more.
Excellent ham as always., April 7, 2014Exactly the same as previous 5J hams bought, always reliable and good quality taste and curing. Better than more expensive options in my opinion and far superior to similar or cheaper alternatives. At time of this review Ibergour are the most dependable and competitively priced for this product.
Great Bellota Ham, December 19, 2013I have been using ibergour for a few years now to purchase our hams and have to say that this latest Jamon is the best yet. excellent. On;ly problem is that its so good it might well have all disappeared before christmas.
5j cinco jotas jabugo bellota, August 2, 2013Che buono il giambone Cinco Jotas! I love this one.
I better write it in English, I prefer this ham far better than the Italian Parma classic because its taste is wild, is not salty it is incredibly flavoured, it is a feast!
It is fantastic with figs and with Italian sparkling wine. Put it together with home grown salad and Parma cheese few Sardinian artichokes and lunch is done! It is advisable not eat it too often and change with less tasty products to appreciate its flavour. Having bought Guijuelo together in the same order I prefer this one because although strong and full of flavour it has something unique that I can't explain, there are no words rather than say it is the best so far.
I would not buy it again in summer because it suffers heat and although it has been delivered in clever vacuum packages it still suffers summer weather.
Delivery was excellent just a few days from order as received.
Expensive but worth it., May 29, 2013We have had a number of holidays in Spain and have always brought jamon home with us, although it doesn't last too long! More recently we have ordered our ham online and this one (and the previous one) from Ibergour. This is an excellent ham and clearly better than most others we have tried. Indeed we have resolved to purchase similar hams in future as the flavour and quality are simply very very good.
Very Good, September 18, 2012Bought it at the discounted price doubly good. My first and definetely not my last.
Thanks, Shame you don't sell more products.
Worth every penny I hope., September 17, 2012Have ordered another this year for this coming Christmas. If it is as good as the last, I will be well pleased. I have it hung up in a cool room and it will be superb by the end of the year. I have bought hams in Spain from supermarkets much cheaper than these but they are no where near the quality.
Beautiful Jamon, super fast delivery, September 17, 2012I confirmed the order on Monday, and it was here for lunch on Thursday.
The Jamonero Jamotec Giratorio Hogar is supurb, really great value.
Thanks

Worth buying, September 11, 2012This is the first time I've tried the brand. Taste was very good. Product was sliced very thin. I prefer my jamon hand sliced and a little thicker as I had in Spain. Product was very oily, which I am not used to. When removing the jamon from the packaging my hands were covered in oil. But the taste was great! I would buy again if I can get it sliced thicker.
Super 5 Jotas Super Ibergour!!!!, August 10, 2011Superb Ham!!! I'm spanish and in 35 years i have never taste a ham like a 5 Jotas....also Ibergour are great to recomend a ham depending on your needs and very helpfull!!! I will use them again Thanks
Compre este jamon a mediados de julio porque queria celebrar el cumpleanyos de un amigo en agosto, siguiendo la recomendacion del personal del chat de Ibergour. El jamon llego a la semana, en perfectas condiciones con el cuchillo y el jamonero. Lo he encentado hoy dia 10 de agosto y nos ha salido buenisimo. Las vetas de grasa son deliciosas y el sabor es magnifico. Todos mis amigos ingleses estan encantados. Recomiendpo este jamon (compre el mas grande 8.5 kilos) por su sabor y recomiendo Ibergour por su profesionalidad y eficiencia. Muchas gracias y muchas veces!!!
Looks great, March 18, 2011Ham arrived well packed and in excellent condition. Cannot comment on flavour as will not be eating it until later in the year. Having bought these hams in Spain before this one looks as good if not better than those I have brought back by car. The company was helpful and responded to questions by return. I took the free olive oil instead of the knife and stand. Delicious. Only complaint is that it cost more than listed because of the exchange costs. The company should arrange for credit card facilities in the UK rather than simply in Spain. That way the cost would be as stated on the site.
A lot of money? sure, and worth it!, December 9, 20105j cost a lot of money and it's worth every cent for the experience of the world's best ham. And think about this: Quality is remembered long time after price is forgotten
just this once, September 6, 2010I enjoy my regular shipments of 5J. However, this time I cannot believe the amount of fat. I am surprised since this never happened before. And it was a large order.
Nevertheless, I will try again. But with a smaller order...
the best, July 21, 2010Of all the options I fid this one the best. It is necessary to keep the ham outside the fridge and the bag and let it air for one full day at least. Amazing taste.
delivery, July 19, 2010Very fast delivery of a very tasty ham.I am still enjoying it.
THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE WITH A SHOULDER IS NOT COMPLETELY COVERED BIJ THE DIFFERENCE IN TASTE.
Appreciated, June 6, 2010Excellent quality & tatse. Keeps very fresh in the vacuum packs. A good way to ensure it does try out and loose its nutty flavour.
There are few very special flavours …, May 11, 2010There are few very special flavours in this world that are totally recognisable and unique. My short list would include Bananas, Asparagus Clams and Jabugo Ham.
Cut to perfection, March 4, 2009Fantastic ham, with a traditional feel and taste. Cut to perfection, it is well cured, dark colored and moist despite being more cured. Definitely the benchmark for the more aged hams.
Taste and flavour is fantastic, January 29, 2009I think that the slices are just a bit too thick, not easy to form the slices f. inst. around something.But the taste and flavour is fantastic.
It's worth the price, July 25, 2007This is one of the best Serrano Ham I have ever eaten. Although it's expensive but it's worth the price I paid for it.
