Iberian loin is a culinary product made from the meat of Iberian pigs. These animals are raised freely in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Spain and Portugal, and primarily feed on acorns, a herb with high fat content and natural oils that give it a unique flavor and aroma.

The Iberian loin is obtained by cutting the pork loin and filling it with fat, salt, pepper, and other ingredients. It is then rolled and tied with a string to maintain its shape. Finally, it is cured for a specific period that varies depending on the preparation.

There are different types of Iberian loin, depending on the degree of aging and the diet of the pigs. Some of the most well-known are the acorn-fed Iberian loin, which is the most elaborate and expensive, and the grain-fed Iberian loin, which comes from pigs fed with feed.

In short, Iberian loin is a high-quality product, appreciated for its characteristic flavor and aroma. It is a versatile ingredient that can be consumed on its own, in salads, as tapas, or as the main ingredient in many dishes.
