Cheek Secreto Slices Iberico

A true delicacy for lovers of juicy, marbled, ultra-thin pork slices: Cheek Secreto Slices from the Iberico pig. These slices are cut from one of the most mysterious and flavourful parts of the animal, known for its incredible tenderness and deep, rich taste. Perfect for quick grilling, searing on a plancha, or serving as a luxurious addition to tapas or fusion dishes. The fine texture and rich fat content create a buttery mouthfeel and nutty depth of flavour. A short flash in the pan is all it takes to slightly melt the fat and bring out the full potential of the meat.

What is cheek secreto?

Secreto is often referred to as the pig’s “secret cut” because it lies hidden between the shoulder and the flank. Cheek secreto is a unique variation, sliced from the cheek area of the Iberico pig. Thanks to its delicate marbling, this cut is exceptionally juicy and full of flavour. The meat is sliced paper-thin, allowing it to be cooked in seconds at high heat. A brief turn on the grill or in the pan results in a tender piece of meat with a crispy edge and soft centre. Ideal for quick cooking with maximum impact.

Iberico: the finest Spain has to offer

The Iberico pig is a special breed that lives in the woodlands of southern Spain. These pigs roam freely and feed naturally on grasses, herbs, and acorns. This natural diet produces a distinctive fat structure in the meat, which not only delivers tenderness but also a deep, almost nutty flavour. Iberico is recognised worldwide for its unrivalled quality, and you can taste that excellence in every slice of these cheek secreto cuts.
