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

4.9 Rating 294 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.

A great alternative at this time of year to lamb.

Tried this after Abanico. This is slightly more meaty and firmer than Abanico but yet still tender and succulent! Different texture compared to Abanico but absolutely love this too!

Always a treat. Leave every bit of fat on - it tastes amazing and melts in the mouth. I confess that I cook it longer than recommended and over a really hot BBQ so the outside gets the slightest bit of crispness while the inside stays moist and full of flavour.

After a visit to Spain and Spanish restaurants in London, I am madly in love with Iberico pork. All cuts are good but this one is thinner so cooks quickly and is perfect for weekday dinner. Lovely flavour

We love this Secreto. We fry it until it gets a little bit crispy, with that lovely ibérico pork fat and it's so delicious, at the same time so tender. My little kids love it too and they always ask for more and more!

First time eating or cooking this cut, I seasoned it simply and cooked on a hot griddle. It was slightly uneven in thickness so careful cooking was required to get to an even medium. The flavour was very good , quite like veal, and the texture as tender as a good sirloin. Overall it was a lovely cut and will prepare again.
