Ventresca Joselito
From 25,00 €
Joselito Ventresca Ibérico is a cut from the belly of the Iberian pig. The cut is characterized by high fat marbling, a juicy texture, and an intense, rounded flavor.
The meat comes from free-range Iberico pigs that live in natural conditions and feed on grass, herbs, and acorns. This diet affects the quality of the fat and gives the meat its characteristic flavor and texture.
Joselito works with an approach where the animals live with very limited human contact up until slaughter. This reduces stress and supports consistent meat quality.
Joselito is one of Spain’s most recognized producers of Iberico products. The producer is known for high raw material quality, traditional craftsmanship, and aging under natural conditions in traditional cellars, where flavor and character develop over time.
Characteristics
Producer: Joselito
Cut: Ventresca
Type: Ibérico
Origin: Spain
Product form: Frozen product
Fat marbling: High
Flavor: Intense, rounded and fat-marbled
Texture: Juicy, tender and with a distinct fat structure
Use: Sous vide, grill, burger, classic servings and thin slices
Important when ordering
This product is sold with variable weight.
If multiple pieces are ordered, they are packed according to the total weight
The pieces may vary in size
If a specific weight per piece is desired, state this at checkout
Method
Ventresca is a fatty and flavorful cut that is well suited to slow cooking followed by hard grilling before serving.
Preparation
Pat the meat dry and lightly salt it on all sides. Vacuum pack the pieces individually or in smaller portions so they lie flat in the bag.
Cook sous vide at 90 °C for 2.5 hours, until the meat is tender but still has structure.
If making it the day before
After sous vide, cool the bags down in the refrigerator. Store the meat chilled in the sealed vacuum bag until it is to be grilled.
Before serving, remove the meat from the bag and pat it completely dry. This gives a better sear on the grill.
Grilling
Grill the meat hard and directly over high heat so the fat caramelizes and the surface becomes crisp. Watch for flames, as the cut has a high fat content.
The meat can be grilled simply with salt or brushed with Yakiniku during grilling for extra umami, sweetness, and glazing.
Let the meat rest briefly after grilling. Then slice across the grain into thin slices.
Serving suggestions
Use ventresca in thin slices in an Asian-inspired burger with mango, coriander, and chili mayo.
It can also be served as a classic grilled dish with new potatoes, green peas, and red wine jus from TRUEfoods.
Storage
Store frozen. After thawing, keep the meat refrigerated and use within a few days.
