The cut to get this piece must be very accurate in order to keep the exact amount of fat. This highly grained piece stands out for its wonderful flavour and texture. Secreto could be called a pork skirt steak due to its similar properties to beef skirt steak. Raised on wild herbs and fattened on acorns in the oak-dotted meadows of Spain, Ibérico hogs produce rich, deep red meat with a robust flavor.
