Iberico Pork Belly Secreto

Often called the “butcher’s secret,” Iberico pork secreto is a prized cut hidden near the belly of Spain’s black Iberian pigs. Once reserved for those who knew where to find it, this special cut is celebrated for its exceptional marbling and deep, savory character that rivals Wagyu beef.

Secreto comes from pigs traditionally raised on an acorn-rich diet, giving the meat its signature nutty flavor and buttery texture. The intramuscular fat melts quickly during cooking, keeping the meat juicy and tender. Best prepared simply, it shines when grilled or pan-seared and served with minimal seasoning to let its natural richness take center stage.
