Ibérico de Bellota Pork Sliders with Rosemary-Garlic Aioli

I've eaten a lot of burgers during my life but the moment I put one of these Ibérico de Bellota sliders in my mouth I knew that all of those others before it were a sham.

Introduced by La Tienda, the ultimate online marketplace for Spanish foods and cookware, Ibérico de Bellota pork sliders feature ground acorn-fed Ibérico pork that has been seasoned and ground by a local artisan sausage maker. The result is the most flavorful, juiciest pork burger you will ever experience. Rounding out the full flavored burger is a slice of melt-in-your-mouth cured Ibérico ham, mild goat's milk cheese, and a rosemary-garlic aioli all of which are nestled on a fresh pretzel roll!
