Iberico Presa - Spanish Iberian Pork

One of Spain’s most prized pork cuts, Iberico Presa is celebrated for its exceptional marbling, deep flavour, and remarkable tenderness. Cut from the upper shoulder near the blade, this highly sought-after cut is often considered one of the finest examples of Iberian pork, loved by chefs and BBQ enthusiasts for its balance of richness and texture.

What makes Iberico Presa so special is the natural marbling that runs throughout the meat. Sourced from Iberian pigs, this cut benefits from their unique genetics, which allow fat to be finely distributed within the muscle. The result is an incredibly juicy, tender pork cut with a distinctive nutty, buttery flavour that intensifies when cooked.

During the final stages of rearing, Iberian pigs often roam freely through Spain’s oak forests, feeding on acorns (“bellotas”), grasses, and wild herbs. This traditional lifestyle contributes to the depth of flavour and richness Iberico pork is famous for, giving the Presa its signature succulence and complexity.

Cooking Suggestions

Iberico Presa is best cooked quickly over high heat to develop a beautifully caramelised crust while keeping the inside tender and juicy.

• BBQ / Grill: Sear over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side
• Pan: Cook in a hot cast-iron pan until deeply golden and caramelised
• Resting: Allow to rest before slicing to retain its natural juices

Best served medium to medium-rare and sliced against the grain. It pairs beautifully with simple accompaniments such as sea salt, chimichurri, roasted vegetables, or crispy potatoes, allowing the natural flavour of the pork to shine.
