Unveil one of Spain's most treasured culinary secrets with our Secreto Ibérico, a cut prized for its tenderness, marbling, and exquisite flavor. Nestled beneath the ribs of acorn-fed Iberian pigs, this hidden gem has long been cherished for its succulent taste and unique texture.
The name “secreto” translates to “secret” in Spanish because, historically, butchers would reserve this exceptional cut for themselves. Today, it’s a celebrated favorite in Spanish cuisine, renowned for its rich flavor and tender juiciness. Whether grilled or roasted, with just a sprinkle of salt, the Secreto Ibérico elevates any meal into a gourmet experience.
What Makes Secreto Ibérico Special?
Secreto Ibérico is revered for its marbling, which imparts an intense depth of flavor and an almost melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. This cut is known to be challenging to butcher, making it a rare and sought-after delicacy.
Sourced from Spain’s Finest Farms
Our Secreto Ibérico is sourced from the finest farms in Spain, including the lush Farm Vera Vieja in Badajoz. The pigs roam freely in expansive oak groves, foraging on acorns (bellotas) and grass. This natural diet, combined with the pigs' active, stress-free lifestyle, results in pork that is both flavorful and healthy.
Why Is It the Wagyu of Pork?
Much like the revered Wagyu beef, Iberico pork is known for its exceptional marbling, due to the unique genetics of the black Iberian pig and their slow-growing, free-range lifestyle. The acorn diet infuses the meat with a rich, nutty flavor while keeping it high in healthy fats, including oleic acid, which is known to be beneficial for heart health.
Culinary Versatility and Tradition
The Secreto Ibérico is an incredibly versatile cut, whether you’re looking to grill, sear, or roast it. Its marbling ensures that the meat stays tender and juicy, while its bold flavor makes it a standout in a wide range of dishes—from simple grilled preparations to traditional Spanish stews like paella.
Key Highlights of Secreto Ibérico de Bellota:
Pristine Origin: Raised on a natural diet of acorns and grass in the heart of Spain’s oak forests, ensuring unparalleled quality.
Rich Flavor: The combination of free-range living and acorn-rich diet gives this cut its intense marbling and flavor, making it a truly gourmet experience.
Ethical and Sustainable: Our farms, like Vera Vieja, uphold the highest standards of humane and sustainable farming, allowing the pigs to roam freely in rich pastures.
This isn’t just a cut of pork—it’s a celebration of Spain’s rich culinary heritage. The Secreto Ibérico is more than a meal; it’s a journey through the ancient oak groves of Spain, where tradition, quality, and flavor intertwine.

The hype is real
This was ridiculous! Everyone raved about the flavor. So much marbling makes it incredibly rich. Only thing I didn’t like is the uneven thickness of the cut. Parts of it are either overcooked or not quite up to temp. Definitely buying again.

Excellent quality
The meat was as expected - absolutely delicious. Cooked up perfectly on the grill with two burners hotter than the others and the thicker end of the meat on the hot side. The meat plus shipping was not cheap as I live in Colorado. It was over $100 for two pieces (1.8 pounds). But the product was excellent and I wanted to try it. Impress your friends with it.

Great stuff!
This was a great cut of meat. All you need to do is salt and pepper it an hour ahead of cooking and leave it alone. I cooked mine in a heavy non-stick skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side medium-high heat. heat. I will be getting more soon!
