Secreto Iberico (1kg) - Acorn-Flavored Iberian Pork Loin Cut Reviews

4.9 Rating 291 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Secreto Iberico is a prized cut from the top of the Iberian pig's loin. Located near the fat, it is often referred to as the 'hidden gem' of Iberico pork. This thin cut sizzles on the grill, releasing acorn-flavored juices that infuse the pork with a rich, delicious taste. Iberico pigs, which are indigenous to southwest Spain, graze in dehesa forests and feed on a diet of herbs, grasses, and acorns. Their active lifestyle and acorn-rich diet contribute to the pork's exceptional marbling and unique flavor. The secreto is similar to a tender skirt steak, with a texture that is both tender and slightly chewy. The mono-unsaturated fats in acorn-fed Iberico pork are healthier than those in regular pork and melt at low temperatures, making this a delicious and healthy choice.

The meat was very good but the gel ice packs were a complete pain to dispose of. The gel is too thick to put down the sink so they had to go in the bin with general waste. I would be unlikely to order again because of this. Please use ice packs instead.

We ordered 2 for 2 separate dinner parties. Absolutely fantastic so much so all our friends asked for details of how to buy it. For a special meal it is perfect. Delivery is prompt and the meat arrived fully frozen. Highly recommend

The Secreto was fabulous and I will definitely purchase it again. It's my favourite Iberico cut and it did not disappoint. One suggestion would be to split the meat in half when frozen so that one half could remain frozen when the other half is cooked. 0.9kg is too much for 2 people. Only a suggestion and I can't praise the meat highly enough.

Hello Stuart, Thank you for your feedback and order with Basco! Personally, I cook secreto on my BBQ and its depth of flavour is incredible! The pack does have two pieces within, so not sure why this was not the case with yours? Thank you again! KInd regards Miles & Team
