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 was disappointed on two counts - 1. There was a long wait for delivery 2. On weighing the lardo it was underweight by 130 g.

Hi Sandi, thank you for your comments. I am sorry for your wait, we have had a large volume of orders this Christmas which has led to some delay beyond our usual service. The Iberico Lardo is a natural product and so there is always going to be some small variation in weights as pointed out on the web page.

Great product. Used it in a Spanish oxtail stew and used on my roast potatoes. Again, I will definitely buy this product again.
