What Is Iberico Pork?
Iberico Pork is commonly called the “Wagyu” of pork because of its noticeable high marbling. This is due to the breed of the pork (Iberian) and how they are raised. We source our pork chops used for this recipe direct from some of the best Spanish producers.
To be called "Jamon Iberico," it must be from black iberian pigs and raised in Portugal or Spain. Our Iberico Pork is from 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. This is where our Iberico pigs are raised; eating a gourmet diet of acorns and grass!
