Montanegra Iberico Bellota Lardo, 1kg - Melting Iberian Pig Fat, Salt-Cured, Acorn-Fed Reviews

4.5 Rating 29 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Montanegra Iberico Bellota Lardo is a charcuterie product made in Extremadura by curing strips of fatback from Iberian black pigs with salt. Iberico lardo comes from pigs raised on a grass and acorn diet, which gives the meat and fat a sweet aroma and nutty flavor. This Iberico Lardo is not just lard; it's a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy. The fatback is salted and hung to dry for weeks, losing most of its water and transforming into a silky, spreadable block of piggy flavor. Serve sliced in thin, translucent pieces on warm toasted bread. Iberico Lardo is an ideal basting and flavoring agent for various cooking methods or can be enjoyed on its own.

I ordered 8kg of this lardo Every piece was coated in rather big chunks of salt Which I’m not sure was right Didn’t have a great taste just very salty We removed the rind and cooked it for an oil we were making and the amount of ammonia smell that came off it wasn’t nice at all

Bought this for cold smoking, it tastes amazing and melts on top of some toasted sourdough.

Delicious in home made black pudding, needs the salt washing off but adds an amazing flavour.

I have just created a Pizza that contains Iberico Bellota Lardo and Mangalitza Streaky Bacon. It's hard to source cured Lardo in Shropshire but Basco has stepped up to the mark and supplied me with a quality product that delivers. Well done Basco keep up the great work.

Re: New Order from Basco #RE100072646 Carl Ferreira Tue, Aug 23, 3:29 PM (5 days ago) to Basco Dear Sir's Just received the [Order #RE100072646] (19 August 2022) However, it is with regret that I have to inform you that the lardo -- (613 grms of it) was very, very rancid. Ferrarini Sliced Smoked Pancetta 500g although not as bad as the lardo was also starting to oxidate.. I am aware that the weather had been very hot and if proper care to have it cold stored is not taken, it will oxidate quite rapidly.. I absolutely love lardo from Iberico pork,( I grew up on it) therefore I am very disappointed.. Rgds C. Ferreira
