iberico

Acorn-fed pork

Ibérico refers to things from the Iberian Peninsula—Spain and Portugal.

Most often encountered in food contexts: jamón ibérico is prized Spanish ham from black Iberian pigs, and cerdo ibérico is the pork from these animals.

The restaurant sources its ibérico from a small farm in Extremadura.
