Experience the Legendary Noble Cuts of Iberico Pork
Discover the four most celebrated cuts of 100% purebred Iberico pork in one exceptional collection. The Texas Iberico Noble Cuts Grilling Bag brings together Secreto, Presa, Pluma, and Abanico, each prized for remarkable marbling, extraordinary tenderness, and rich, complex flavor.
Raised on pasture in the Texas Hill Country, our Iberico pigs produce pork unlike anything found in conventional breeds. Whether you're grilling over hardwood, cooking over live fire, or searing in cast iron, these premium cuts reward simple preparation and let the exceptional quality of Iberico pork shine.
Every Noble Cuts Grilling Bag includes one of each:
Secreto
Hidden between the shoulder and ribs, this thin, beautifully marbled cut is incredibly juicy with rich, buttery flavor. Best grilled or quickly seared over high heat.
Presa
Cut from the shoulder near the neck, Presa is thick, richly marbled, and steak-like in texture with bold, savory flavor.
Pluma
Located behind the loin, Pluma is exceptionally tender with delicate marbling and a rich flavor often compared to a fine steak.
Abanico
Named for its fan-like shape, Abanico cooks quickly and develops beautifully caramelized edges while remaining juicy and tender.
Cooking Tips
For the best results:
- Bring each cut to room temperature before cooking.
- Season simply with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Grill or sear over high heat to develop a flavorful crust while preserving the tenderness created by the natural marbling.
- Allow each cut to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
These cuts need very little seasoning because the exceptional quality of the Iberico pork speaks for itself.

The Texas Iberico Difference
Every Noble Cuts Grilling Bag begins on a single ranch in the Texas Hill Country.
Our 100% purebred Iberico pigs spend up to 18 months grazing open pastures, naturally foraging on native grasses, live oak acorns, mesquite beans, prickly pear cactus, yucca, and other native plants. This slower, pasture-raised approach develops extraordinary marbling and depth of flavor that simply cannot be replicated in conventional pork.
From ranch to table, every product reflects our Whole Pig Philosophy, honoring the animal through thoughtful craftsmanship while producing pork of extraordinary quality.
