Iberico Pork Cheeks, Free-Range, Lean, Rich in Acorn Flavour, 0.8Kg, Spanish, Grass Fed Reviews

Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Iberico pork cheeks are a unique cut of pork meat, being quite meaty yet surprisingly lean. The pork meat is deep red in colour and is exceptionally rich and full of flavour. They come from the free-range Iberico black pigs that wander the countryside of Southwestern Spain, feasting on sweet acorns. Iberico Pork is traditionally known as Carrillera Iberica and has the unique benefit of being a lean healthy pork meat without losing the acorn flavoured fat that gives it such a rich taste. Our pigs are ethically reared using entirely natural farming methods, living most of their lives outdoors and getting plenty of exercise in the ancient dehesa habitat, where they eat grass, herbs and lots of sweet acorns.

Brilliant and tasty meat. Will definitely order again as the quality of meat is excellent. The only thing to add is that the communication/update on order to be made more often, but this doesn't affect the freshness and the quality of products. Thank you!

These were excellent. Used the recipe from elsewhere on the site, and it turned out perfectly, with the cheeks cooked just to the point where they were on the point of falling apart and a thick, tasty sauce.

I wasn't expecting such a large quantity - I can't have read it properly! so I've split it up into portions and put it in the freezer. It looks fabulous though. We're eating it as a celebration dinner for St Andrew's Day on 30/11/20 - my husband's Scottish!!

Such great value! Perfect cooked slowly until mouth-wateringly tender and the flavour has mingled with those from your stock or casserole. We always put star anise in the casserole because it brings out the porkiness. We have recommended this to friends and family.
