Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Pluma Iberica is a cut from the end of the loin. It is juicier than presa steak or solomillo iberico. Pluma is fairly thin but leaner than secreto skirt steak. Pluma Iberica comes from black Iberico pigs that range freely across the extensive oak forests of southwestern Spain. They feast on huge amounts of sweet acorns and natural grasses. This special diet lends an incredibly complex flavour to the pork, and all that exercise allows the meat to be marbled with beneficial fats. Pluma Iberica is a pork cut that is well marbled with flavorful fat that melts away when you cook it. When cooked, it is tender and rich. To prepare pluma iberica, season with salt and pepper and grill or sear the pluma, then cook at medium high heat until done. The centre of the steak should still be pink.

This is the most delectable cut of pork.....I'm just sad we don't rear our pigs to taste like this. But worth every penny.

One of the best pork meat I ever had. Also ordering from Basco is a bliss as it is so quick to receive your order. I can’t wait to order again!

Was nervous cooking this on a BBQ as didn't want to overdo it but I needn't have worried. It cooked fast but perfectly and everyone said it was the most melt in the mouth pork they'd ever had. Absolutely delicious and so much of it. Will be ordering again.

This is truly superb. Gives the lie to the old wives tale that you shouldn’t cook pork pink. Why can’t we produce and butcher pigs like this in the UK?
