Brindisa Spanish Foods iberico Pork Fat, 190G

Product Information

Iberico Pork Presa: This cut is from the shoulder as well, but it's a bit more marbled and has a unique shape. a) leave you a notification of their unsuccessful attempt to deliver and details of how you can contact them to receive your parcel. It is produced by rendering down the plentiful fat of the animals to produce a smooth, aromatic lard.

The acorns, in particular, are a crucial part of the Iberian pig's diet during the Montanera season, a period when the pigs feast on the fallen acorns. They're known for their richness and depth of flavour, making them a sought-after choice for stews and braises. Ground into savory sausages, in bacon and pork belly, as fatback slabs, and we even grind some of the fatback in a commercial grinder to make it easier to use. This fat can be easily melted by heating it up and can be used to fry grilled pork fillets or eggs, for example.

Finally, I'm going to reveal a culinary secret: sandwich a slice of fat between two slices of Iberian ham, close your eyes and try it.

One of the by-products of the hams and charcuterie, that is their main business, is this beautiful, sweet, acorn rich lard.

And that's whether you come to us for your family favourites, an indulgent treat, or your perfect party food spread. On the other hand, the high levels of Vitamin B make it an excellent choice for those battling depression or stress, or for those recovering from an injury, illness, or surgery.

Finally, although this option is not edible, we will tell you that there is a cosmetic alternative, making soaps (like those of a lifetime) from the fat of the Iberian ham.

While the Iberico Pork Cheeks carry an exceptionally rich and nutty flavour, the Carrillada cheeks are surprisingly lean due to the stunning fat marbled through the meat. This ibérico lard is produced by a specialist company that raises and slaughters its own herds of ibérico pigs. If we add to this the high protein content found in ham, its contribution of vitamins B1, B6, B12 and E, as well as the calcium minerals, phosphorus and magnesium, there is no doubt that Iberian ham is a highly nutritious and beneficial food.

Aside from ham, it provides us with micronutrients such as B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc, all of which are necessary for our bodies. It’s great to have this product around because ordinary lard simply doesn’t make the grade and every now and then we need something other than olive oil to enrich the texture and flavour of a dish.The edible fat is white or pinkish and is attached to the red meat, it has a very good flavour and it has a nice mouthfeel. As the pig has been raised on a diet of acorns, the same sweet nutty flavour can be tasted through the fat.
