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.

I have cooked with the Iberico Pork Cheek before after living in Sevilla for a year. The order from Basco arrived on the date agreed and it was extremely well boxed in the ice packaging. I made the recipe for sherry braised pork cheek on the basco website for a small informall dinner party. The smell in the kitchen as the meat cooked was amazing, and the beauty of the recipie is it can be cooked a day or so before you eat it. The dish was a huge hit with the guests and required next to no effort from me on the day. The meat fell off your fork as you picked it up and the taste was divine. Even though I had been generous with portion sizes there were no left overs, (much to my husbands dissapointment!) as everyone agreed it was a wonderful dish.

Superb quality and taste, braised them in Asian broth then fried in panko bread crumbs with mash and reduced broth as gravy. Yummy!
