Iberico Back Ribs

Lean • Flavorful • Perfect for Low & Slow Cooking

Iberico Back Ribs are cut from along the backbone after the lomo is removed. While slightly leaner than spare ribs, they carry exceptional flavor thanks to Iberico’s natural marbling and high-quality fat.

These ribs shine when cooked gently and finished hot, delivering tender meat that pulls cleanly from the bone with a rich, pork-forward taste.

Best Uses

  • Smoked or oven-roasted ribs

  • Grill-finished ribs

  • Dry-rub or lightly glazed preparations

What to Expect

  • Cleaner, pork-forward flavor

  • Tender meat with a light bite

  • Less excess fat than spare ribs

    • Roast 15–20 minutes until lightly browned and caramelized.

      • Brush lightly with glaze if desired (keep it light).

    Rest

    • Rest ribs 10–15 minutes before slicing.
