Abanico Iberico 1Kg, Iberian Pork Cut, Marbled, Acorn & Herb Flavored, High in Mono-unsaturated Fats, Food Items Reviews

Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

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.

This is the single best cut of Iberico. I like it better than Jamon! And it's very reasonably priced. Plus the customer service is top notch. There was an issue with my order and I am so grateful that Basco was pro-active, friendly, and generous in sorting it out.

Good. I had to remove some extra fat (extra, not the enjoyable one for a Iberian por). But it had very good flavour and juicy. I’ll buy it again it price worths

So far the only cut that I’ve tried from the order I placed, it’s like no other pork I’ve ever had

Really good tender and full of flavour, arrived promptly and well packaged, the pieces were thicker & meatier than I was expecting (pleasant surprise!) so was able to get a nice crisp exterior and left pink in the middle. Will order again

Fantastic, juicy, full of flavour and perfect for the BBQ. Marinaded in a mixture of cumin, coriander, pimenton picante, salt, pepper, fennel seed, olive oil and lemon juice. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side and serve pink.
