What Is Ibérico Presa?

Presa is a rare, butcher’s cut taken from the shoulder area of the Ibérico pig.

It’s highly sought after because it offers:

• intense marbling
• exceptional tenderness
• rich, nutty flavor
• a steak-like eating experience

In Spain, presa is considered one of the best cuts for grilling.

Why Ibérico Pork?

Ibérico pork is known for its unique genetics and traditional raising methods.

Compared to standard pork:

• higher intramuscular fat
• deeper, more complex flavor
• tender, juicy texture
• naturally rich finish

The result is pork that behaves more like a premium steak than a typical cut.

Montaraz Quality

Montaraz is a true source-to-plate producer, with over five generations of experience raising Ibérico pigs in Spain.

Unlike many brands that source from multiple farms, Montaraz maintains control across the entire process—from raising the animals to final production. This results in:

• consistent quality and marbling
• full traceability
• traditional raising methods preserved over generations
• a more refined, reliable product

This level of control is rare, even among Ibérico producers, and is a key reason Montaraz is trusted by top kitchens.

Flavor & Texture

Ibérico presa delivers a distinct eating experience.

Expect:

• rich, savory flavor with subtle nuttiness
• tender, juicy texture
• pronounced marbling throughout
• clean, satisfying finish

It’s a cut that performs best with simple preparation.

How to Cook Presa

Presa is best treated like a steak.

Grilled or Pan-Seared (Recommended)

• Season with salt
• Cook over high heat
• Sear both sides
• Rest before slicing

Serve medium to medium-rare for best results.

Why This Cut Stands Out

Compared to other pork cuts:

• more tender than pork shoulder
• more flavorful than pork loin
• more marbled than most cuts

Presa offers one of the most balanced combinations of flavor, tenderness, and richness.
