Iberian pork tears are one of the least known but most exquisite pieces of pork. This cut is increasingly valued for its tenderness, juiciness and unique flavour. At César Nieto we want to share everything you need to know about Iberian pork tears and how you can enjoy them in your kitchen.
What are Iberian pork tears?
Iberian pork tears are small cuts of meat that are extracted from the intercostal area of the Iberian pig. They are called “tears” because of their elongated and thin shape, reminiscent of a tear. Although it is a small and discreet cut, it has a high concentration of infiltrated fat, which makes it a very juicy and tasty piece.
This cut comes from pigs reared in the wild and fed mainly on acorns, which enhances its flavour and quality. For this reason, its characteristics include
- Intense flavour: The infiltrated fat, characteristic of the Iberian pig, gives the tears a deep and succulent flavour.
- Tender texture: Despite their small size, lágrimas are incredibly tender, which makes them ideal for quick cooking.
- Versatility in the kitchen: Iberian pork tears can be prepared in many ways, from grilled to stewed, and are perfect for appetizers or main courses.
Why are Iberian pork tears so special?
Iberian pork is characterised by the quality of its meat and the richness of its flavours. The tears of Iberian pork stand out for being a less common cut but of great quality, similar to other appreciated cuts such as the secret or the Iberian feather.
High content of healthy fat
The fat infiltrated in Iberian pork tears is one of the aspects that make this cut so special. Unlike other fats, Iberian pork fat is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, similar to olive oil, which makes it healthier than other meats.
Exclusivity of the cut
The size and limited quantity of this cut make it an exclusive delicacy. It is not a cut that is easily found in all markets, which adds a special value when you enjoy it. At César Nieto, we guarantee that they come from selected Iberian pigs raised in the best conditions.
Perfect for quick dishes full of flavour
Thanks to their small size and the quality of their meat, Iberian pork tears are ideal for quick cooking without losing their juiciness. You can prepare them on the grill, grilled or even in quick stews, and they will always maintain their impeccable flavour and texture.
