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.

As good if not better than a fillet steak. The marbling of fat and flavour is amazing.

Once again we had the excellent Abanico Ibérico from Basco,superb delivery service within a couple of days of ordering it. I bbq it at the weekend,just rubbed in some good olive oil and seasoned it. Had the bbq going with some good lump wood charcoal and up to a high temperature 200c Seared the pork quickly on both sides and put it on the cooler side of the bbq for about 3 minutes per side so that it was nicely caramelised on both sides and then let it rest for around 5 minutes. Sliced and served with corn on the cob,hassleback new potatoes,mushrooms done in butter garlic and chilli all cooked on the bbq.Plus a side salad and a good Rioja .

Th Abanico is a well marbled cut of pork, we cooked it over coals on skewers, it was full of flavour and surprisingly tender for the area of the pig that it comes from. Highly recommended.

Just received my Ibanico Iberico Pork, as delicious as I had in Spain, cooked on the barbecue with a bit of olive oil and salt, there is no finer tasting piece of meat. Worth paying for.

Quite possibly the single most delicious cut of meat I've tasted in 2018. I will be purchasing this product each time I order from Basco. Perfect for the BBQ and cook to medium rare at the most. On a cost to taste ratio probably the best deal you can find anywhere!

We recently had our second order from Basco.This was the abanico and secreto iberico pork.Both were delicious.They were marbled with more fat but when cooked pink they had a rich buttery taste with a crisp exterior .Would highly recommend both. Our only problem now is whether we prefer these or the presa,which was in our last order!!
