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.

Until lockdown I bought pork cheeks regularly from Morrisons and was very satisfied with them. Now I don't have access to a Morrison's store so looked for an alternative. There is quite a difference in size between those and the Basco Iberico cheeks which suggests to me that the Iberican pigs were older. The Iberico produced a good result but in my opinion no better than Morrison's and much more expensive

First had pork cheeks a month ago in Burgos. I think they were almost as good as them.

Well packed and frozen for prompt delivery the product was exactly as described and made a great dish flowing your recipe slow cooked in PX sherry. The only criticism is the wide diversity in the size of the cheeks making portions hard to manage.
