The Pata Negra pig is a largely undiscovered gem and provides some of the most quality cuts of meat we’ve ever come across. Literally, Pata Negra translates to ‘Black Hoof’ in reference to the pig’s black hooves and skin. The climate they live in, their freedom to roam and the natural diet they live on gives the Pata Negra pig an incomparable tenderness, taste and texture. The Iberian Peninsula is strewn with oak trees and the pigs take full advantage of Montanera time (acorn season) which is where the meat gets its distinct nutty flavour from.
The premium cuts we have chosen to include on this menu are some of our favourites, along with a Chistorra Chorizo which we think complement the Pata Negra dishes beautifully. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do.
The distinctive nutty flavour of this Spanish delicacy results from the combination of exercise & a diet consisting almost exclusively of acorns, that the free range Pata Negra pigs enjoy.
