About Secreto
Secreto, often referred to as the “secret cut,” is a prized piece of pork from Iberian pigs, cherished in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. Hidden behind the shoulder blade, this tender, marbled cut is rich in flavor and juicy when cooked. Its origins lie in Spain, where it is a cornerstone of traditional culinary practices, often grilled or seared simply to let its natural taste shine. Secreto contains high-quality protein, aiding muscle maintenance, and provides essential nutrients like B-vitamins and iron. Its marbling contributes to its delicious texture, but it also means a higher fat content, including saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. The oleic acid present, similar to that in olive oil, offers heart-healthy benefits when sourced from acorn-fed Iberian pigs. Secreto is a flavorful indulgence, best appreciated as part of a balanced diet that incorporates leaner proteins and fresh vegetables.
