LEGADO IBÊRICO PORK CARRILLERA (CHEEKS)
Legado Ibérico Pork Carrillera (Cheeks)
Origin: Spain
Our Legado Ibérico pork cheeks are a prized cut from free-range Ibérico pigs raised in the dehesa woodlands of Extremadura. These compact, well-marbled morsels represent the perfect marriage of lean meat and rich intramuscular fat that slowly renders during cooking to create an extraordinarily tender, flavourful delicacy with the distinctive nutty character that comes from the pigs' acorn-rich diet.
The cheeks are among the most flavourful cuts of the Ibérico pig, offering exceptional taste with minimal effort. Their natural marbling and high collagen content transform during slow cooking into a silky, gelatinous texture that melts in the mouth. The heritage Ibérico breed's unique diet creates meat with a higher proportion of healthy monounsaturated fats and an unparalleled depth of flavour.
Slow-braise in red wine with aromatics until fork-tender (approximately 2-3 hours at 150°C). The cheeks will absorb the cooking liquid while developing a luxurious, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Serve with creamy polenta or mashed potatoes to capture the rich sauce, and a side of simple greens to balance the dish.
Producer: Our Legado Ibérico comes from a family-run estate where five generations have perfected the art of raising purebred Ibérico pigs according to traditional methods. Their commitment to animal welfare and sustainable farming in the ancient dehesa ecosystem ensures exceptional quality while preserving Spain's gastronomic heritage.
