Description

Iberico Pork Belly, sourced from the esteemed Iberian pigs of Spain, is a gourmet delicacy celebrated for its exceptional quality, rich marbling, and unparalleled flavour. Known as “Pata Negra,” these pigs are raised on a diet rich in acorns, which imparts a distinctive, nutty flavour to the meat. This cut boasts an abundance of creamy fat that resulting in a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Versatile in the kitchen or over the coals ‘Alfresco style’, it shines whether slow-roasted, smoked, braised to enhance its succulence, or grilled to perfection. Each bite of Iberico Pork Belly is a memory in the making, offering an exquisite taste and luxurious texture. This exceptional meat and more specifically this particular cut is a rarity in the UK and a true testament to Spain’s culinary heritage and the pinnacle of pork quality.

Information

Iberico Pork Bellies really are a connoisseur’s delight – often used to produce exceptional pancetta, contributing to their rarity. Due to their high fat content, they might not be immediately recognised as high-quality by the British public. However, for those willing to appreciate the value of the fat and its interplay with the meat, these cuts offer an extraordinary experience.

These are very large, whole Pork Bellies, consisting of the Rib and Tail halves as one piece, these of which are also available as separate and more manageable sized pieces.

NOTE: These are fat. Don’t waste the fat looking for the meat, just cook it and collect all that rendered lard. A traditional recipe for rendered fat I’ve used many times calls for adding numerous Bay leaves and Garlic to the render. Once cooked, pour the liquid through a sieve into tubs or jars and refrigerate. This makes an amazing alternative savoury spread to butter that’s super tasty for frying or general cooking.
