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.

I needed to slice the pieces into much thinner slices. Cooking without reducing the thickness produced a tough, unpleasant mouthful. Once thinned I achieved the soft, chewy texture. Excellent flavour.

Every single Basco order won't be complete without at least ordering two of these. The marbled fat is what it makes this cut of pork particularly delicious. Top tip: I fillet the pieces of meat into thinner steaks before frying them with olive oil and sea salt.

Love this cut, simply pan fried and then sprinkled with salt and eaten with chimichurri sauce. The fat renders out to leave a crisp texture and the marbling helps retain the juiciness.
