Abanico Iberico is the outer layer that wraps around Iberico ribs. It's a thin, marbled piece of meat that's perfect for grilling, producing juicy and crispy slices of pork. The name 'Abanico' comes from its fan-like shape, reminiscent of a traditional Spanish hand fan. These indigenous black Iberico pigs roam the dehesa forests of southwest Spain, feeding on herbs, grasses, and acorns. Their diet contributes to the wonderful flavor of the pork, while their exercise helps create the marbling that makes Iberico so special. Abanico has a rich, complex flavor profile, with notes of grasses, herbs, and acorns. It's high in mono-unsaturated fats that melt at low temperatures, making it a healthier option than regular pork. Abanico is best grilled or cooked over low heat to bring out its full flavor.

“Divided this up and had 3 different meals from it. Firstly we just BBQ'ed it with some basic seasoning, treating it like flank steak - keeping it medium rare and slicing it thinly against the grain. We then marinated it with Mexican spices and again cooked it on the BBQ and made fajitas with it. Thirdly as Korean BBQ with bulgogi marinade. All really great and even though it looks quite fatty, barbequing it renders this nicely and the remaining fat tastes good and keeps the meat moist and tender.”

“Albanico is just fantastic on the barbie with a simple garlic-based or a pincho moruno-style marinade. It also makes an excellent vehicle for Jamaican Jerk, the slightly fatty meat marrying the spice perfectly...”
