FROZEN IBERICO CHEEK (CARRILLERA) ±1kg (Per kg)
Iberian pork cheeks are very gelatinous round pieces. perfect for preparing stews, baked or grilled.
What was traditionally a little appreciated cut has become very popular in recent years due to the promotion of some renowned chefs, which has caused the price of the Iberian cheek to rise. It is a very exercised muscle with a curious network of muscle fibres and adipose tissue, which gives it a very particular texture.
For homemade stews full of flavour, we serve fresh Iberian cheeks direct from the slaughterhouse. The Iberian cheeks are on both sides of the pig's jaw, they are a very gelatinous round piece, so their use in stews with long cooking times is very popular, although baked or grilled the result is also excellent.
This type of handling in the kitchen also ensures that the collagen contained in this meat is released, giving the entire dish a sweetness.
