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.

“First class service from Basco! Resolved non-delivery due to Storm Eunice promptly and got my items within 2 working days. Meat still frozen upon receipt. Removed some silver skin and almost flash seared due to thinness of the meat. Abanico was delicious, juicy with its intramuscular fat and tender with a hint of nuttiness. Tried it with friends and we were all delighted with the quality of meat and how delicious ‘pork’ can be!”

“Just had it tonight on the bbq. Very good and fat just melts. Could've done with cooking slow at first and then thrown over fire. Do yourself a favor and trim off silverskin and excess fat beforehand.”
