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.

Pig cheeks are one of the lesser-known great pleasures in life. Coupled with Nigel Slater's recipe, inspired by a trip to San Sebastian, what more could one want? I have cooked this dish many times but these Iberico pork cheeks were sensational. We paired them with a bottle of Oloroso and it was magnificent!

Same as my review in the chorizo..everything well wrapped in ice, punctual delivery. Looks great, but can't comment on taste yet as I haven't used it yet.

Great value tender pork cheeks. Cooked long and slow these are melt in the mouth delicious. Try chucking star anise in the broth. Serve with huevos rotos and you will be in heaven.

Delicious Iberico pork cheeks. Very tender, almost purple in colour and deeply savoury. I served them with a chestnut flour sauce (memories of Cuenca) and everyone loved them.
