Our portfolio represents the gold standard of Spanish gastronomy, featuring the three most iconic producers of 100% Bellota Pata Negra: Cinco Jotas (5J), Joselito, and COVAP, alongside the exceptional labels of Señorío de Montanera and Arturo Sánchez & FISAN. As a specialized wholesale distributor, we provide direct access to these 'exquisite' labels for the most discerning commercial clients in the USA, UK, and EU.
Cinco Jotas (5J): The Jabugo Black Hoof Icon
Cinco Jotas, often written as 5J, is widely regarded as one of the purest expressions of 100% Ibérico de Bellota from the legendary town of Jabugo in southern Spain. For more than a century, the brand has preserved a unique genetic line of black-hoofed Ibérico pigs raised in the holm and cork oak Dehesa, where they roam freely and feed on acorns during the montanera season. The result is Jamón Ibérico with extraordinary marbling, deep nutty flavors and a silky, oleic acid-rich fat profile that melts at room temperature. Cinco Jotas is frequently referenced in the Michelin Guide and on tasting menus at leading restaurants worldwide, where chefs rely on its consistent quality and heritage story. For professional buyers, 5J represents the benchmark "Black Hoof" Pata Negra standard—ideal for flagship offerings in luxury hospitality, fine dining and high-end retail. As a global authorized supplier, we source, consolidate, and distribute Cinco Jotas for B2B clients across key markets in the USA, UK, and EU. We invite your wholesale enquiries.
Joselito Gran Reserva: The Best Ham in the World?
Founded in 1868, Joselito is often described by critics and chefs as "the best ham in the world" and has become a reference name for Gran Reserva Jamón Ibérico. The brand is known for its long natural curing cycles—often exceeding 36 months—and for using only sea salt, with no added nitrates or artificial preservatives. Pigs are raised in extensive Dehesa environments and finished on acorns, producing Bellota hams with a powerful, aromatic profile and a delicate, almost sweet finish. The "Gran Reserva" designation underlines the exceptional aging time and the careful hand-selection of each piece. For Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury hotels and gourmet retailers, Joselito offers both prestige and technical reliability: stable sliceability, vibrant color and a distinctive flavor curve that stands out on premium charcuterie boards. We serve the USA, UK, and EU markets as a specialized distributor, managing the sourcing and consolidation of Joselito for premium wholesale buyers. Contact us for wholesale enquiries.
COVAP: Cooperative Excellence from Los Pedroches
COVAP, based in the Valle de los Pedroches in Córdoba, is a modern cooperative that unites farmers, feed specialists and master ham makers under one integrated quality system. Its Alta Expresión Jamón Ibérico lines showcase 100% Ibérico and high-percentage Bellota hams raised in vast Dehesa landscapes, where animals graze on acorns, grasses and natural forage. Unlike purely artisanal brands, COVAP leverages scale and technology without sacrificing authenticity, offering consistent grading, traceability and product availability for large hotel groups and international distributors. This makes COVAP a strategic partner for luxury hospitality, cruise lines and airline catering, where both volume and reliability are critical. For buyers who need a balance between terroir, sustainability and commercial performance, COVAP stands out as a top choice in the Los Pedroches DOP region. We are a global authorized distributor of COVAP, facilitating wholesale supply and logistics for professional B2B clients in the USA, UK, and EU. Submit your wholesale enquiry today.
Why Brand Matters in Luxury Hospitality
In luxury hospitality, the brand name functions as a trust mark that justifies premium menu pricing, guarantees genetic purity for Pata Negra offerings, and reassures guests and buyers about sourcing and consistency.
Señorío de Montanera: DOP Dehesa de Extremadura Purity
Señorío de Montanera is a specialist producer focused on 100% Ibérico de Bellota hams certified under the prestigious DOP Dehesa de Extremadura. Its farms and drying houses are located in some of the richest oak woodlands in western Spain, where Ibérico pigs graze freely on acorns and natural pasture during an extended montanera. The company is renowned for slow, traditional curing, often exceeding the minimum legal times to develop exceptional aroma and texture. Their Jamón Ibérico regularly receives accolades, including multiple Great Taste Awards, which reinforce its reputation among chefs and sommeliers. For high-end restaurants, boutique hotels and gourmet retailers, Señorío de Montanera offers a compelling story of terroir, certification and artisanal craftsmanship—ideal for customers who value purity of origin and documented DOP status.

Guijuelo Masters
Arturo Sánchez & FISAN: Guijuelo’s Double Montanera Masters
Arturo Sánchez and FISAN represent the elite of Guijuelo, a historic Jamón Ibérico region in the province of Salamanca famous for its cold, dry mountain air. Both houses are known for meticulous selection of Ibérico pigs and for leveraging Guijuelo’s microclimate to extend curing times. Arturo Sánchez is particularly associated with the concept of "Double Montanera", where select animals enjoy two acorn-feeding seasons, resulting in extraordinary intramuscular fat development and complexity. FISAN, with a century-long heritage, combines traditional cellars with modern controls to achieve highly consistent Gran Reserva profiles appreciated by top chefs. Together, these brands give buyers access to some of the most expressive, long-aged Ibérico hams on the market—perfect for tasting flights, limited editions and signature menu placements in luxury hospitality and fine retail.
