Secreto Ibérico

Acorn-Fed Secreto Ibérico de Bellota

The Secreto Ibérico de Bellota is one of the most prized and often least known cuts of Iberian pork. Its name is no coincidence; it is hidden between the shoulder and the belly, near the cross of the loin. It is a meat with exceptional marbling of infiltrated fat, making it incredibly juicy and flavorful.

What distinguishes the Secreto de Bellota is, precisely, the animal’s diet. Free-range Iberian pigs fed exclusively on acorns during the montanera (mountain pig) develop superior-quality fat. This fat, rich in oleic acid, infiltrates the muscle fibers, providing unparalleled tenderness and flavor.

Cooked on the grill or barbecue, the Secreto Ibérico de Bellota becomes a straightforward and uncomplicated culinary experience. Its intense flavor, with sweet nuances and a distinctive aroma, makes it a dish that needs no further embellishment. It’s a simple cut to prepare, yet complex and delicious in its final result.

If you’re looking for an explosion of flavor in every bite, Secreto Ibérico de Bellota is your choice.
