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.

Fabulous kept simple, we left in the fridge overnight with rosemary, fennel seeds, pepper and lemon juice and olive oil, then flash cooked over white hot charcoal. Served medium rare the flavour is sublime

This is such a wonder. For best results I think it should be barbecued either as is or marinated with lemon juice olive oil and parsley. Amazingly succulent and so rich in flavour. What’s not to love about this.

This meat is delicious. Cooked it on the BBQ and it was the best meat I have ever cooked at home. So easy to prepare but the taste was out of this world

A delicious cut to be enjoyed either on the bbq or griddled (good recipes on Bas-côtés website), I had it first at a friends and it has now become a firm favourite for summer cooking with Ottolenghi salads or autumn with a potatoe and celeriac gratin
