Pluma Iberica 1.4Kg, Free Range Black Iberico Pigs, Oak Forest Fed, Spain Reviews

4.9 Rating 97 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Pluma Iberica is a cut from the end of the loin, known for its juiciness and leaner texture compared to other Iberico cuts. It comes from black Iberico pigs that roam freely in the oak forests of southwestern Spain, where they feed on sweet acorns and natural grasses. This unique diet contributes to the pork's complex flavor and marbling with beneficial fats. Pluma Iberica is well-marbled with flavorful fat that melts away when cooked. When prepared correctly, it's tender and rich, making it a great representation of how pork should taste. To cook Pluma Iberica, season it with salt and pepper, then grill or sear it at medium-high heat until done, leaving the center slightly pink.

We’ve only ever had pluma in restaurants before but due to Covid thought we’d give cooking it ourselves a go. There were four pieces in our pack. We pan fried the first two on a high heat as part of a tapas night for friends and it was outstanding- crispy on the outside and soft and tender in the middle. Cooked medium rare, all our guests declared it amazing. We plan to have a go at barbecuing the other two pieces later today. More fantastic service and quality produce from Basco- our favourite lockdown find!

I absolutely love this Pluma, it is fantastic on the BBQ and can be cooked medium. Incredible flavour and very tender. I’d pick it over fillet steak every time, and it’s cheaper! Delivery was quick, well packaged and still frozen. I’d highly recommend this to anyone, even if you don’t really like pork!

Delivered on time as promised; this was a wonderful piece of meat that was a great centre-piece to a BBQ. The basic instructions on the website were really useful to ensure we got the best out of it. Will definitely re-order!
