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.

This has got to be some of the best tasting pork I have ever had. Cooked over Charcoal-Divine!

Absolutely delicious and just how it tasted in the tapas bar. The website cooking instructions are also spot on.

First tried Secreto on a trip to Edinburgh this year, and when I saw it on the website I knew I had to order it, and it didn’t disappoint! My only complaints were that piece was slightly smaller than 1kg (850g), and it was quite fatty, and that needed to be trimmed before cooking to avoid it being chewy.

First of all I received more than I had paid for, so that was a lovely treat! The piece of pork came expertly packed and still frozen, so I had the option to put it in the freezer if need be. But I let mine defrost and cooked it on a griddle pan for just a few minutes each side and served it at a dinner party. The guests loved it! It is just like the meat we eat in Spain and it tastes fresh and juicy! Can't recommend enough, will definitely be ordering this again!
