Full product description

Iberico Tenderloin, also known as Solomillo, is one of the most tender cuts from the Iberico pig.

This premium Spanish pork tenderloin delivers a refined Iberico eating experience with a softer, leaner profile than cuts like Secreto, Pluma, or Presa. It is naturally tender, mild compared to richer Iberico cuts, and ideal for customers who want premium pork without the heavier fat content.

Solomillo cooks beautifully with a quick sear, gentle roast, or simple pan sauce. It is a great cut for elegant dinners, sliced medallions, pork tenderloin roasts, or clean weeknight meals with a premium feel.

Why This Iberico Tenderloin Stands Above the Rest

Iberico Tenderloin is the cut to choose when tenderness is the priority.

While many Iberico cuts are prized for rich marbling and bold fat, Solomillo offers a more delicate version of the Iberico experience. It is leaner, softer, and easier to portion, while still carrying the clean, savory depth that makes Iberico pork so special.

This is a premium tenderloin that works well for customers who want something elegant, approachable, and easy to cook. It can be seared whole and sliced, cut into medallions, or roasted gently for a tender centerpiece.

Flavor & Texture

Iberico Tenderloin is tender, clean, savory, and refined.

Compared to richer Iberico cuts, Solomillo is leaner and more delicate, but still has more character than conventional pork tenderloin. The texture is soft and easy to slice, with a mild Iberico flavor that pairs well with sauces, herbs, citrus, garlic, and wine-based preparations.

Expect a tender bite, clean finish, and a more elegant eating experience than everyday pork tenderloin.
