Description

Carrilleras ibericas are the prized cheeks of the Ibérico pig, known for their exceptional tenderness and deep, savoury character. Taken from the jaw area, this cut is naturally rich in connective tissue that breaks down into a silky, melt‑in‑the‑mouth texture when cooked low and slow. The muscles develop remarkable flavour thanks to the Ibérico breed’s distinctive fat distribution and natural feeding patterns, resulting in a cut that offers depth and complexity far beyond standard pork cheeks.

These cheeks are sourced from Ibérico pigs of 100%, 75% or 50% breed purity, offering a balance of flavour intensity and cost‑efficiency while maintaining the characteristic richness associated with Iberian pork. Their deep red colour and robust, nutty notes make them especially suited to slow braising, casseroles and long simmering, where the meat becomes exceptionally tender and releases a rich aroma that enhances any dish crafted around it.

Frozen and vacuum‑packed at source, this product maintains excellent shelf life and provides consistent quality across batches, supporting both professional kitchens and manufacturing operations. When prepared with wine, stock and vegetables or gently simmered in sauce, the cheeks produce a luxurious texture and a full, rounded flavour that has made them a favourite among chefs worldwide.
