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

We usually go for the secreto iberico but it wasn't available - this was very tasty though. Cooked medium rare over charcoal for a late lunch and was a huge hit. Will be ordering again.

I have had these before and they taste wonderful - I haven't tried these ones specifically because it has not stopped raining and I can't light the bbq! Again, the price is high - it used to be very much cheaper, but the import costs have pushed many of the items from anywhere in Europe through the roof as a consequence of leaving the EU.

Always quality meat which is brilliant on a barbecue. I always receive a superb service from Basco, thank you.

Have ordered many times. Always fantastic and a family favourite. Cook quickly on the BBQ and treat more like beef than pork. In the unlikely event that you have leftovers, they are fantastic in salads and sandwiches.

Made these in a grill pan over the hob, served with homemade mash potatoes and home made pickled watermelon. So so so tasty and smells so nice... and even if you crisp it, it still melts in your mouth. Even my 3yo loved it and found it very easy to chew, and he's not very keen on stakes yet!
