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.

Just had another order delivered and as usual quality excellent, delivery on time, and customer care fantastic. We have bought from Basco several times, would recommend to anyone and are always happy we found this supplier, brings back lots of happy memories from our visits to Spain.

The pork was delicious and very tender. I was a little disappointed that it came in three pieces rather than a single joint (hence only four stars) as it made it slightly difficult to judge how long to cook it to ensure the meat was not under/over cooked. As a take on patatas bravas, I fried up some of the cooking chorizo with some diced potatoes and used Javier's recipe and method to make a tortilla. Everyone agreed that everything was delicious and is hoping that it will be repeated in the not too distant future.

The texture was still the same good - after a light grill it melted in the mouth. However the smell of roasted pork wasn't as strong as before. Maybe just this batch, will try again later.

I cooked 5kg of this on the BBQ for a party, used a little bit of olive oil, plenty of rock salt and some chopped oregano, then cooked 4-5min a side on medium heat... Absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend it. (service/delivery good as always)
