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

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.

This must be the 3rd or 4th year I have purchased Iberico Pork cheek from Basco. Delivery has always been prompt and still frozen. They have always turned out full of Iberico pork flavour and texture. This year I was only disappointed by the weight of my packet which was 0.924Kg which I will put down to supply issues before Christmas. I always use the same recipe, Trim the pork cheeks, Coat in plain flour and brown off in a pan, remove to plate, add chopped onions to pressure cooker and cook to soften, add large carrot chunks to pressure cooker, add the browned Iberico cheeks, add 500gm of wine beef stock or gravy, add pepper, salt and fresh ginger to taste, add 300ml of Pedro Jimenez sweet cherry and cook for 30 to 40 minutes in the pressure cooker. Always turns out soft and succulent and enough to spread over 2 or 3 meals with a flavourful gravy and provide me all the wonderful Carrillera I have had in Spain. Picture available.
