This Frozen Pork Ibérico Abanico is a highly marbled and flavorful cut from Spanish Ibérico pigs. Produced in Spain by Mafresa, it is offered frozen and sold per kg.

Detailed Information

The abanico, named for its fan-like shape, is a thin cut from the outside of the rib cage. It is prized for its high marbling and tender texture. The meat presents a deep red color with fine intramuscular fat, delivering a succulent mouthfeel. The flavor profile is rich and nutty, with pronounced umami notes derived from the Ibérico pigs’ acorn-rich diet. Ideal for quick grilling or pan-searing, the abanico is best cooked over high heat to preserve its tenderness and natural juiciness.
