Cooking method
Iberico Spare Ribs stand out for their tenderness and intense flavor. Some popular cooking methods:
- Grilling : Marinated with spices or BBQ sauce and grilled over medium heat to get a crispy crust and juicy interior.
- Sous Vide : Cooked at 68-72°C for 12-24 hours, maintaining tenderness and juicy texture. At the end, they go through a high heat to caramelize.

Bake in the oven : Slow bake at 150°C with a foil cover to "melt", then high bake for a crispy surface
Origin of Name and Breed
- Iberico breed : Iberico pigs are native to the Iberian Peninsula and feed on acorns in natural areas, which enriches the meat with beneficial fatty acids and gives a characteristic "mountain" flavor.
- Cut name : Spare ribs come from the lower part of the brisket and contain more meat and fat than other cuts, making them great for roasts and BBQ
