Pork is not only a good source of protein, it also has other health benefits such as being a source of B complex vitamins and omega 9. At César Nieto we offer you a wide variety of meat products that stand out for their high quality and excellent flavor. Below we present different types of pork meat.
Jamón: Ham, one of the types of pork meat
Ham, or Jamón, is one of the most typical and popular products of Spanish cuisine. It is cured meat, obtained from the hind legs of the pig, and is very rich in protein.
At César Nieto we offer a wide range of ham of the highest quality in whole pieces or sliced by knife. We also have boneless products and exclusive limited editions. In addition, we offer ham made from 100% Iberian acorn-fed pigs raised in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos.
Paletas: Shoulder
While ham is obtained from the hind legs of the pig, the shoulder (paleta) is obtained from the front legs. This part of the pig contains more fat and has a much more intense flavor than ham.
At César Nieto we offer different shoulder products, including whole acorn-fed pieces, limited editions or different types of boneless hams. We also have sliced shoulders. Depending on your taste, you can choose between knife-sliced or machine-sliced products.
Types of pork meat: Loin
The loin (lomo) is obtained through the two pieces that are next to the backbone and under the ribs of the animal. It is one of the most popular types of pork meat, it stands out for its tenderness and is one of the leanest parts of the animal.
At César Nieto we offer you different Iberian pork loin sausages, either acorn-fed or fattened. If you do not want to opt for a sausage or you prefer fresh meat, we also offer fresh Iberian loin.
Types of pork meat: Panceta
Panceta, also known as bacon, is a very tasty meat thanks to its high amount of fat. It is one of the most traditional cuts and a very popular ingredient in many dishes. It contains not only healthy fats, but also vitamin B complexes and protein. At César Nieto, we offer you high quality Iberian pancetta.
Pork cheeks
When we talk about pork cheeks (carrilleras), we are referring to the meat that is extracted from the lower sides of the animal’s jaw. It is a type of lean pork meat and at the same time juicy due to the amount of intramuscular fat. If properly prepared, it is so tender that it almost melts in the mouth, which is why it is highly appreciated among gourmets. At César Nieto we offer high quality Iberian pork ribs!
Types of pork meat: Ribs
Ribs (costillas) are a type of pork meat obtained from the thorax region of the pig. They contain the bony parts of the animal’s rib cage and are usually quite fatty. When properly cooked they have a very tender texture and are rich in flavor. At César Nieto we offer you a wide range of fresh meat, but when it comes to ribs, we recommend you to choose our Iberian ribs.
