Secreto Iberico

Secreto Ibérico is a type of pork cut that comes from the Iberian pig, a breed native to the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and Portugal. It is a thin and flavorful cut that comes from the shoulder area, specifically from the muscles that are located next to the loin.

The term "secreto" means "secret" in Spanish, and it is called so because it was traditionally kept by the butchers for themselves due to its exceptional taste and tenderness. Nowadays, it is a popular cut in Spanish cuisine and is often served grilled or roasted with simple seasonings to enhance its natural flavor. It is also used as an ingredient in many traditional Spanish dishes like paella and stews.

Secreto Iberico is one of the most popular cuts in Spain. It is very marbled and also VERY tough to extract and butcher properly. The flavor is spectacular and the preparation is simple (add salt and grill). Pork secreto is juicy, exquisite, and tender.

It is very difficult to cut properly, which is why we let the magical butchers in Spain to do the job for us. Then they ship it to us.

WHAT MAKES JAMON IBERICO SPECIAL?

To be called "Jamon Iberico" it must be from black Iberian pigs and raised in Portugal or Spain.

This particular ham comes from black pigs that are free ranged and fed on a grass and grain-based diet.

Many producers produce Jamon Iberico from pigs who live indoors most of their life. This is NOT the case here. Our secreto iberico ham comes from pigs who roam freely their whole life and are fed a diet of grass and grain.
