Boston Butt Ibérico

The Boston Butt from the Spanish Ibérico pig is a true flavour bomb for those who appreciate juicy, richly marbled pork. Cut from the shoulder of the animal, this piece is ideal for slow-cooked dishes where time and patience are rewarded with fall-apart tender meat. Thanks to the Ibérico pig’s distinctive intramuscular fat, the meat stays juicy and develops a deep, nutty flavour. Whether you're cooking it low and slow on the BBQ, roasting it in the oven, or turning it into a classic pulled pork, the Ibérico Boston Butt is a treat for any meat lover.

What is a Boston Butt?

The Boston Butt comes from the upper shoulder of the pig, just above the shoulder blade. Despite its name, it has nothing to do with the rear of the animal. It's a robust cut made up of multiple muscle groups with generous marbling, making it ideal for slow cooking. As it cooks, the connective tissues break down, resulting in incredibly tender meat that easily falls apart. This process allows flavours to deeply penetrate the meat, making it perfect for marinades, dry rubs, and smoking techniques.

Ibérico Cerdo, unparalleled quality from Spain

This Boston Butt comes from the renowned Ibérico pig, a breed celebrated for its exceptional meat quality. Raised freely in southern Spain, these pigs graze on grass, herbs, roots, and, during acorn season, on fallen fruit and acorns. This natural diet gives the meat its signature taste and unique fat composition. Ibérico pork has a rich, deep flavour and an irresistibly tender texture that’s hard to match. Thanks to its high content of healthy fats, it’s not only incredibly tasty, but also a healthier option compared to regular pork.
