100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Loin – COVAP

At Made in Spain Gourmet, we carefully select only those products that truly represent the finest expression of Spanish gastronomy. This 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed High Expression Loin is one of the jewels 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 naturally on acorns and wild grasses during the montanera season, this loin stands out for its remarkable marbling, firm yet succulent texture, and refined flavour. The perfect balance between premium pork, paprika and natural spices creates exceptional harmony.

Traditionally cured for 70 days, it develops a deep, clean and lingering aroma with delicate notes of toasted nuts, subtle spices and a long, elegant finish that turns every slice into an authentic gourmet experience.

Food Pairing

The refined character of this 100% Iberian Acorn-Fed Loin pairs beautifully with wines and beverages that complement its aromatic complexity.

At Made in Spain Gourmet 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

To fully appreciate its aroma and texture, remove the product from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before serving, allowing it to reach an ideal temperature of 20–24°C (68–75°F).

Arrange the slices separately on a serving plate so the marbled fat regains its natural shine. Perfect served with artisan sourdough bread, traditional breadsticks, aged cheese, gourmet olives and premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

When the ingredients are exceptional, the finest recipe remains the simplest: open, serve and enjoy.

Traceability
