Tapilla Iberico Bellota
Tapilla Iberico Bellota
Tapilla Iberico Bellota is a true flavour bomb from the Spanish kitchen. This unique cut is tucked away on top of the Iberico pig’s hindquarter and combines a firm texture with a rich, deep taste. Because the meat comes from acorn-fed Iberico Bellota pigs, it boasts striking marbling and a nutty aroma that’s rarely found elsewhere. The cut is ideal for high-temperature grilling or searing, where the fat slowly melts and creates a juicy, intense dish. Perfect for slicing into thin pieces and serving as a luxurious tapa, or as a main course with a few simple sides.
What is Tapilla?
The Tapilla, also known as the top part of the rump or “cap,” is a relatively unknown but highly prized cut in the Iberico kitchen. This compact, lightly muscled piece is full of flavour, thanks to its high level of intramuscular fat. When cooked at a high temperature, the fat caramelises beautifully, forming a crispy crust around a tender, buttery centre. This combination of texture and fat makes the Tapilla not only incredibly juicy, but also extremely versatile. Whether you grill it briefly, cook it sous-vide, or sear it in a cast iron pan, this cut never disappoints.
Bellota quality from the heart of Spain
The Tapilla comes from the Cerdo Ibérico Bellota, a special breed that roams freely in the dehesas of southwestern Spain. Here, the pigs live in complete freedom and feast during autumn on kilos of acorns from cork and holm oaks. These acorns give the meat its signature taste and contribute to a uniquely healthy fat structure, rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Bellota is the highest quality category within Iberico and guarantees a perfect combination of pure flavour, natural marbling, and artisanal craftsmanship. The result is meat that stands out with every bite.
