This meat stands out for its intense juiciness and flavour. Costillas contain a high bone to meat ratio; the meat is highly marbled and infused with the acorn rich flavour. It is located in the thoracic cavity, there are two costillas per pig. The costillas are the same cut as spareribs here in the US.

Also known as the Spare Ribs, this cut weighs an average of 6.25lbs and is cut with one uniform section, and two tapered end pieces.

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.
