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.

Excellent value for money and quick delivery. I ordered these on a Thursday evening as I was trialing a recipe for Carilladas en Pedro Ximinez. They arrived on Saturday morning ready to be defrosted and slow cooked the following day. There was plenty of meat enough to go round at least 6 adults and after being braised for 3 hours the meat was soft and delicious! Would definitely order again!!

These cheeks are really great simmered for a couple of hours in a stock as simple or complex as you like. I browned them in a big saucepan (no oil required) then threw in chopped onion, celery, carrot and thyme, bay leaf, garlic, star anise, clove, salt, pepper. Simmer for 2 hours then take out the cheeks, strain the stock and reduce until thickened. Pour over the cheeks and you are in heaven! You might need to thaw the pack a little to separate the cheeks if you don’t want to eat them all in one go. Great quality, great value!

Very succulent! I did these with garlic and thyme, salt and pepper on the BBQ. Looking forward to braising some next.

The parcel arrived a day later than it should have and was just starting to defrost any longer and it would have been beyond saving. The pork cheek was really good quality and when cooked was amazing.
