This highly grained piece stands out for its wonderful flavour and texture. Secreto O Cruceta could be called a pork skirt steak due to its similar properties to beef skirt steak. This piece is "hidden" between the shoulder, ribs, and fatback, which is how it got its "secret" name. The cut to get this piece must be very accurate in order to keep the exact amount of fat.

Also known as the Shoulder Cut, this cut weighs .83lbs on average.

Known as Pata Negra or Black Hoof, the Ibérico pig, is a descendant of the wild boar that once inhabited the Mediterranean forests. The last free ranging and grazing pigs in Europe, the Ibérico pigs are an integral piece of an ecosystem that exists today solely in the dehesa, the cultivated holm oak and cork forest of western Spain.

During the fattening season or montañera, Ibérico pigs feast almost exclusively on fallen acorns (known as bellota) and wild herbs. This entirely natural diet and the exclusive ability of the Ibérico pig to store large fatty deposits, which filter throughout the muscle mass liberally marbling the meat in appearance, give it the incomparable tenderness, taste, and texture that make Ibérico de Bellota the best pork in its class.
