Pais de Quercus (PDQ) translates to the "Land of the Oak Trees". A boutique Iberico Farm nestled in the South West of Spain, a 10mins drive to Portugal. PDQ Iberico roam freely in the Dehesa. Grazing on acorns during the montanera, which is the fall season when acorns are abundant. Here the pigs forage in the wild and with the rich diet of acorns, develop their signature tenderness and marbling.
The Pluma: is one of the rarest cuts on the Iberico, with just under 800g on an Iberico Pig that weights over 180kg. To illustrate where this cut is derived from an iberico loin. We would draw reference to a Wagyu Ribeye. But only the most well marbled and tender section of the Ribeye -the Spinalus Dorsi. A thin triangular shaped muscle that is without a doubt the most prized cut on the loin.
Reference: Pais De Quercus Iberico Pork can be enjoyed and found in the kitchens of the most celebrated Spanish Restaurants. Including elBulli, El Celler De Can Roca, DiverXO, Mugaritz
