Lardo Iberico de Bellota

Decadent Acorn-Fed Backfat. We are pleased to be the first U.S. producer selected to work with the thick backfat from Spain's famed Pata Negra pigs.  These black-footed pigs roam in cork and oak groves in Southern Spain, eating a diet of mostly acorns, extremely high in monounsaturated fat, approaching the qualities of olive oil.  The resulting lardo is supple at room temperature and has a unique nutty flavor, perfect on its own or paired with grilled bread, beans, or fruit.
