Discover the exceptional indulgence of Montaraz Costilla Ibérica, a premium cut that embodies the authentic taste of Iberico pork in its most rustic and flavorful form. Unlike the refined, elegant Carre Ibérico, which is celebrated for its lean, tender loin and sophisticated presentation, Costilla Ibérica offers a bold, juicy, and richly marbled experience, making it a favorite among those who appreciate true Iberico decadence.

Key Features:

Authentic Montaraz Ibérico Pork: Raised free-range in the Dehesa woodlands of Spain, Montaraz Costilla Ibérica is sourced from acorn-fed Iberian pigs, known for their superior marbling and nutty, savory flavor.

Perfectly Marbled for Ultimate Juiciness:
Costilla Ibérica is naturally rich in intramuscular fat, delivering a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a buttery, savory depth that is distinctly Iberico.

Rustic, Hearty, and Unapologetic:
Unlike the refined Carre Ibérico, which showcases elegant, bone-in loin cuts, Costilla Ibérica offers a rustic, hearty presentation, perfect for slow roasting, grilling, or smoking.

Bold, Natural Flavor:
The rich marbling and acorn-rich diet of the Iberian pigs create a flavor profile that is intensely savory, with subtle hints of nuttiness and a buttery finish.

Versatile Preparation:
Whether slow-cooked for fall-off-the-bone tenderness, grilled for a smoky, caramelized crust, or smoked for a bold, aromatic finish, Montaraz Costilla Ibérica adapts to any cooking style.

Flavor Profile vs. Carre Ibérico:

Costilla Ibérica: Rich, fatty, and intensely savory, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that is deeply satisfying.

Carre Ibérico: Refined, tender, and subtly nutty, with a balanced blend of lean, juicy loin and delicate marbling.

Cooking Suggestions:

Slow Roasting: Season simply with sea salt, cracked pepper, and fresh herbs. Roast at a low temperature for a tender, fall-off-the-bone experience.

Grilling: Marinate with smoked paprika, garlic, and olive oil. Grill over medium heat until the exterior is caramelized and the meat is juicy.

Smoking: For a bold, smoky flavor, slow-smoke over hickory or oak, allowing the marbled fat to render and infuse the meat.

Experience True Ibérico Excellence:

A melt-in-your-mouth texture and a bold, nutty flavor that is a true celebration of Iberico pork’s unique qualities. For those who seek a refined, elegant presentation with a balanced flavor, Montaraz Carre Ibérico offers a sophisticated alternative. Indulge in the rustic luxury of Montaraz Costilla Ibérica—perfect for those who appreciate the true essence of Iberico pork.
