IBERICO PORK: THE GREATEST PORK IN THE WORLD

Iberico Pork is commonly called the “the wagyu” of pork because of its noticeable high marbling. This due to the breed of the pork (Iberian) and how they are raised. We source these pork chops from the very best farms in Spain.

To be called Iberico" it must be from black Iberian pigs and raised in Portugal or Spain. We work with different farms like Farm “vera Vieja” which is located in Retamal de Llerena (Badajoz, Spain). This farm stretches over a vast and rich pasture which provides the highest quality acorns, grass and excellent grazing fields, which is where these pigs are raised eating acorns and grass!

At the end of the day, it is all about the genetics, the feed and the lifestyle of the pork. Treating them just right, following humane practices and allowing the animals to roam freely and happily. They grow slow, and that makes Iberico pork much more expensive than what you will find at your local grocery store... and the difference is something you can taste. Iberico pork is tastier and healthier.
