Bring authentic Spanish depth to your kitchen with Frozen Ibérico Salted Lard / Panceta Ibérica Salada (±2.5kg, per kg)—a premium cured pork belly-style ingredient made from Ibérico pork, prized for its rich flavour, beautiful fat content and exceptional cooking performance. Salted for traditional preservation and flavour, this panceta delivers a deep, savoury profile that melts beautifully into dishes, adding natural richness, aroma and Spanish character.

Perfect for professional kitchens, it can be used to elevate stews, beans, lentils, broths, rice dishes, casseroles, roasted vegetables, tapas, sauces and charcuterie-style preparations. Its Ibérico fat slowly renders during cooking, bringing a silky texture and intense savoury finish that standard pork fat simply cannot match. Sold per kg, with pieces around ±2.5kg, it is ideal for restaurants, chefs, butchers and Spanish foodservice menus looking for a premium ingredient with real culinary impact.

Serving & usage suggestions

• Spanish stews & pulses: Dice and cook slowly with lentils, chickpeas, fabada-style beans, white beans or casseroles for deep savoury flavour.
• Rice dishes: Add small cubes to paella, arroz meloso or arroz al horno for richness and aroma.
• Tapas-style cooking: Crisp thin slices or cubes and serve with potatoes, eggs, roasted peppers or grilled vegetables.
