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

4.9 Rating 304 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.

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.

Very good; treated it like a flank steak, fennel spice rub, onto the BBQ, cooked medium rare. Plenty for the 2 of us for tea, and the rest sliced thinly across the grain, marinated with red wine vinegar, thinly sliced onions, lemon juice, oregano and feta and had 'subway' sandwiches the next day.

over the last couple of years we've eaten our way around all the iberico cuts (and some of the beef ones too) and for the BBQ, this is the best. just pat them dry, grind some sea salt over and don't overcook it - it's really easy to get the outside nice and crisped up with the inside medium (just the tiniest bit of pink) and it's always a show stopper.

This is the second time ordering this meat. We barbecued it and it was fabulous. Really tender and tasty.
