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 Secreto: is one of the most well marbled cuts on the Iberico. A long thin piece of pork, resembling a skirt steak. A prized cut in disguise. Perfect for a quick sear. The cut is oily and unctuous. To illustrate where this cut is derived from an iberico Pork. We would draw reference to the Rib Cap of Beef. Found above the Spinalus Dorsi Muscle. Sometimes Referred to the Karubi in Yakiniku restaurants.
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
