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.

Not as flavourful as any other Iberico meat when on grill but good money for value! Strongly recommended for slow cooking.

Absolutely delicious. Fried them off and slow cooked for three hours in Pedro Ximinez sherry and beef stock. The meat was so tender and full of flavour. Would be perfect for an alternative Christmas meal.

Great service and excellent product. The order of Iberico pork cheeks arrived well packed with the ice still frozen in the thermal container. I have lived in Spain and the pork cheeks were as tasty and tender as any we have had.

Very good; we cooked them in the slow cooker with red wine and veg, as in the recipe on the website, apart from the sherry because we didn't have a bottle to hand. Used to getting pork cheeks which are butchered more, i.e. all the fat and sinews trimmed out, but the flavour of these Iberico ones are brilliant. Also good value as there are only 2 of us, so we divided them and froze the rest - enough for 2 more meals.
