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.

Not the first time I've brought Abanico Iberico andbit won't be the last. The flavour is amazing. One of our favourite BBQ options.

Probably my favourite meat cut for an Iberico. It's got a fantastic melt in the mouth quality! This is the pork equivalent of a "Kobe Wagyu" beef steak. Have this medium rare over the fire and you will be amazed.

Perfect for BBQ, a bit worry that I can’t get back to pork i usually get from supermarkets after tried Abanico Iberico on the grill. Definitely need to pile it up if you have enough rooms in your freezer!

Can not review quality of food as item not delivered. Changed delivery date by one day, but item not delivered. 4 days later item still not delivered. Contacted Basco for refund and was fobbed off with zero offer of refund

First time we’ve had Ibirico pork so gave it a light marinade of Chrystal salt, pepper, garlic, lemon thyme and olive oil. Carefully cooked to medium rare, pink and juicy on the BBQ. Oh my word!! Absolutely spectacular flavour, a phenomenal piece of meat!! Add to basket

What an amazing cut. Just added salt, pepper and thyme and cooked it on the BBQ. We couldn't believe how tender and tasty it turned out. Highly recommend and will be buying more!
