pork secreto

The Secreto pork is a popular cut of meat, especially in Spain, found between the back and back fat and often referred to as the Secreto fillet or Cruceta. It is an intensely marbled cut that is particularly tender and aromatic. The marbling, which also includes back fat, gives the pork a nutty flavor that comes from the acorn-fed diet. The Secreto is ideal for grilling or pan-frying and should be cooked at temperatures around °C. Grilling is one of the best ways to bring out the full flavor of the secret fillet of the Iberico pig. Whether grilling the fillet or as part of a barbecue, this cut of meat impresses with its unique flavor and delicate texture. The combination of pork belly and pork loin makes the Secreto a special treat that shouldn't be missed.

To prepare Ibérico Secreto optimally, it is important to select the highest-quality cut of meat. You can buy the best and freshest Secreto fillet online from us. Before grilling, the cut should be well seasoned: first, lightly salt it and rub it with a marinade of herbs and olive oil. Grilling usually only takes a few minutes, as it cooks quickly. Ideally, it should be seared on both sides before reducing the heat and allowing it to simmer gently. We recommend an internal temperature of 54°C to 56°C for the best possible result. For a perfect result, you should choose approximately 500g of Secreto. When grilling Secreto, it is important not to overcook the meat to preserve its delicate texture. The marbling characterizes the nutty flavor and is crucial for the succulence of the pork. An absolute insider tip is to prepare the Secreto on the grill at around 200°C to perfectly bring out the roasted flavors. This secret cut is an excellent choice for a barbecue. Pork belly and pork loin can also be good alternatives, but the Secreto remains the highlight of any barbecue.
