Carre Iberico (French Rack)

Enjoy the exceptional taste and craftsmanship of Carre Ibérico from Salsicharia Estremocense (SEL) – a premium pork rack on the bone, from Portugal’s legendary Iberian pigs. This exquisite cut showcases the best qualities of authentic Ibérico meat — rich marbling, succulent texture and unforgettable depth of flavor.

Key features:

• Authentic Ibérico from Salsicharia Estremocense : From free-range, acorn-fed Iberian pigs raised in the oak forests of Portugal—known for its rich, slightly nutty flavor.

• Exceptional marbling: Natural intramuscular fat provides a tender, “melting” texture for a luxurious experience.

• Impressive bone-in serving: A spectacular "bone-in" rack that is a real highlight of any sophisticated table.

• Craftsmanship: Prepared using traditional methods of Salsicharia Estremocense for unsurpassed quality and taste.

• Versatile cooking: Ideal for roasting, grilling or slow cooking — the rich fat melts away and makes the meat extremely juicy and flavorful.

Flavor profile:

Salsicharia Estremocense Carre Ibérico is prized for its distinctive, buttery flavor with subtle nutty notes, derived from the animals’ acorn-rich diet. The luxurious marbling melts away during cooking, infusing the meat with a delicate, umami richness—at once sophisticated and unforgettable.

Preparation recommendations:

• Bake to perfection: Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of fresh herbs. Bake at high temperature for a golden crust and tender, juicy inside.

• Grill for a smoky finish: Start fat-side down to render and crisp. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic, and fresh rosemary for an elegant touch.

• Slow cooking for maximum tenderness: Cook slowly with aromatic herbs, garlic, and a little white wine for “meat that falls off the bone.”

More than just a cut of pork, Carre Ibérico is a masterpiece of flavor, texture, and presentation. Perfect for gourmet dinners, special occasions, or to elevate your culinary repertoire, this exceptional rack is a celebration of tradition, quality, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
