Shipped frozen and weighing approximately 3.5 pounds, our whole Iberico de Bellota pork loin by Fermin would be a rare and sumptuous treat for your next family gathering.

It is best served oven-roasted or grilled medium rare. Lightly season your Iberico de Bellota pork loin with just salt and pepper and cook only to medium rare - yielding a juicy, pink center that showcases the meat's rich, nutty acorn flavor.

Alternatively, you could slice the loin into individual pork chops to be grilled or pan-seared. If you're a little more adventurous in the kitchen, you could also use this Iberico de Bellota loin to make your own cured lomo at home.

This fresh Iberico de Bellota pork loin comes from an ancient breed of pig, Cerdo Ibérico, which has been roaming the woodland meadows of western Spain feeding on acorns for thousands of years. Iberico de Bellota is the pride of Spain and La Tienda is proud to offer this fresh, uncured pork loin to you.

Each fall a group of breeders sets aside a select group of young pigs, allowing them to roam the dehesa woodlands. There they feast upon acorns which are falling in abundance from the holm oak and cork trees. They gorge themselves, putting on at least two pounds of weight each day!

When it is time for their sacrifice (the Spanish term for slaughter), these genetically unique animals produce Ibérico de Bellota meat that is marbled with rich golden fat infused with the flavor of the Iberico pigs' favorite food: the acorn -'bellota' in Spanish. (close)
