Preparation tips

Each cut of Montaraz Ibérico meat will have some excess fat, this is where much of the rich flavor is held and commonly left on Iberico pork. You should cook on high heat, with the fat side down to render the fat and give you a crispy, juicy bite.

If you find that there is too much fat, you can trim it down and use the fat as cooking oil, your base to a sauce, or infuse it with herbs and use as a finishing oil.

Ibérico fat is high in healthy monounsaturated fats, similar to olive oil!
