Presa Ibérica

Description

WHAT IS PRESA IBERICA?
Presa Ibérica is a premium cut of pork taken from the shoulder area of the Ibérico pig, located near the head of the loin. Renowned for its tenderness and rich marbling, this cut combines the best qualities of both the shoulder and loin, resulting in a succulent and flavorful culinary experience.

At La Tienda by Jose Sol, we take pride in carefully selecting our suppliers to ensure that every cut of Presa Ibérica meets the highest standards of quality. This dedication guarantees that our customers enjoy only the finest pork available.

This exquisite cut is known for its deep, complex flavors and melt-in-your-mouth texture. Often called the “other red meat,” Presa Ibérica is best enjoyed when cooked to medium rare, offering a juicy, tender bite that highlights the pig’s acorn-rich diet and free-range lifestyle.

WHY IS PRESA IBERICA SO SPECIAL?
Presa Ibérica stands out as a thick, flavorful shoulder steak with a unique balance of juiciness and leanness. While it contains less fat than other cuts like the pluma (end loin) or the secreto (flank steak), it retains the luxurious texture and marbling that make Ibérico pork so exceptional.

Ibérico pork comes from a special breed of pigs native to Spain. These free-range animals thrive in oak forests, feasting on acorns, which contribute to their distinct flavor profile and silky fat that almost dissolves on your palate. Their active, natural lifestyle creates the marbling that distinguishes Ibérico pork from all other types of meat.

HOW TO COOK PRESA IBERICA?
To bring out the best in this remarkable cut, we recommend keeping it simple. Season your Presa Ibérica with just salt and pepper, then grill or sear it over medium-high heat. Aim for a medium-rare finish with a slightly pink center to preserve its juiciness and tender texture. Since Presa is leaner than other Ibérico cuts, avoid overcooking. Let it rest for five minutes after cooking, then slice thinly to enjoy its full depth of flavor.
Meat comes vacuum packed and frozen

HOW WILL YOU RECEIVE YOUR PRESA IBERICA?
Your Presa Ibérica steak will arrive frozen and vacuum-sealed, packed with ice pads to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition. If you’re not cooking it immediately, store it in the freezer. When you’re ready to prepare it, allow the meat to thaw in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours prior to cooking.

Please note: Each Presa Ibérica cut is unique, so the weight may vary slightly. Rest assured, every piece is hand-selected to deliver the premium quality you expect from La Tienda by Jose Sol.
