Ibérico pluma

Ibérico pluma is a specific cut of pork from the Ibérico pig, a unique breed of pig native to Spain. The word "pluma" means "feather" in Spanish, and this cut is named for its feather-like shape. It's located at the end of the loin, near the shoulder. This cut is known for its tenderness and intense flavor, which is a result of the pig's diet and free-range lifestyle. Ibérico pigs are often fed a diet rich in acorns, which contributes to the distinct taste and marbling of the meat. The pluma is best cooked quickly over high heat to maintain its juiciness and is a delicacy in Spanish cuisine.
