Our curing cellars in Jabugo, Spain were recently the scene of one of the most important events for Cinco Jotas in 2019. Coinciding with our 140th anniversary, Cinco Jotas organized a gathering combining to perfection haute cuisine, exclusivity, and all the character and personality of this distinguished company, founded in 1879.

This “Six Senses Culinary Experience” brought together three of the best chefs in the world, who cooked their hearts out and exchanged ideas about the versatility of Cinco Jotas products around a common theme: how will global haute cuisine evolve in the coming years?

These three culinary professionals who went all out for the Six Senses Culinary Experience were Alexandre Mazzia (Two-Michelin-starredAM AM Restaurant in Marseille, and Chef of the Year 2019 by the French Gault-Millau Guide), Josean Alija (One-Michelin-starred Nerua Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain) and Wang Yong, the most awarded Chinese chef of his generation, who elevates traditional Chinese cuisine to a place of luxury from the kitchens of the Four Seasons hotel in Hangzhou,China.

These chefs created mouth-watering dishes that reflected both their culinary personality and their passion for acorn-fed 100% ibérico ham and the select cuts of meat from Cinco Jotas. Diners were able to discover and explore the delightfully meandering character of Alexandre Mazzia's cuisine, the powerfully minimalist cuisine of Josean Alija and the delicacy with which Wang Yong reinterprets the culinary traditions of his country of origin.
