Taste the Iberico Difference
Fat, happy pigs produce the best meat. Spain’s Iberico pigs have prodigious appetites and a tendency to accumulate fat, but they get plenty of exercise too. Allowed to roam and graze freely in the dehesas, they accumulate large amounts of intramuscular fat which along with the other natural vegetation they eat, creates the intense marbling that gives Iberico pork meat its distinctive sweet, slightly nutty flavor.
