100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Sliced Loin – COVAP
At Made in Spain Gourmet, we carefully select only those products that truly represent the finest of Spanish gastronomy. This 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Loin is one of the greatest treasures of Iberian charcuterie and among the most prized cuts of the Iberian pig.
Produced from 100% purebred Iberian pigs raised free-range in the oak pastures of Los Pedroches PDO, where they feed on acorns and natural grasses during the montanera season, this loin stands out for its exceptional marbling, firm yet succulent texture, and refined flavour. The perfect balance between premium pork, paprika, and natural spices creates remarkable harmony.
Traditionally cured for 70 days, it develops a deep, clean, and persistent aroma with delicate notes of toasted nuts, subtle spices, and a long, elegant finish that makes every slice a true gourmet experience.
Pairing
The refined character of this 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Loin pairs beautifully with beverages that enhance its aromatic complexity.
We recommend serving it with:
- Elegant red wines made from Tempranillo or Garnacha.
- Barrel-fermented white wines.
- Brut Nature Cava or Brut Champagne.
- Fino or Manzanilla Sherry.
- Premium vermouth served well chilled for a Mediterranean-style aperitif.
Serving Suggestions
For the best flavour and texture, remove the product from the refrigerator 20–30 minutes before serving, allowing it to reach an ideal temperature of 20–24°C (68–75°F).
Arrange the slices individually on a serving plate so the marbled fat regains its natural sheen. Enjoy with artisan sourdough bread, traditional breadsticks, aged cheese, gourmet olives, and premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
When the ingredients are exceptional, the finest recipe is also the simplest: open, serve, and enjoy.
Traceability
At Made in Spain Gourmet, excellence begins at the source.
This 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Loin comes from purebred Iberian pigs raised free-range in the oak woodlands of Los Pedroches PDO, a unique ecosystem where the animals naturally feed on acorns and native pasture during the montanera season.
Every loin is fully traceable through a rigorous quality control system, ensuring authenticity from farm to final production and offering complete guarantees of origin, quality, and transparency.
