Our 1.5-inch thick Iberico pork chops are cut for people who love real pork flavor. Taken from slow-raised Iberico pigs, these chops are beautifully marbled, incredibly juicy, and far more forgiving to cook than conventional pork.
The generous thickness allows for a perfect sear while keeping the interior tender and moist, making them ideal for grilling, pan-searing, or finishing in the oven. Rich, slightly sweet, and deeply savory, Iberico chops deliver a steak-like eating experience with unmistakable pork character.
Each pack includes four thick-cut chops, perfect for special dinners, backyard grilling, or anyone who appreciates premium, responsibly raised pork.
Suggested Uses:
• Pan-seared with herb butter
• Grilled over hardwood or charcoal
• Reverse-seared or oven-finished
• Served simply with salt, pepper, and fire

Cooking Instructions
Step 1 – Sear
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
Heat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high.
-
Add oil; pan should be hot but not smoking violently.
-
Sear chops 2½–3 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
-
Quickly sear the fat edge for 30 seconds if present.
Step 2 – Baste & Roast
-
Reduce heat to medium.
-
Add butter, garlic, and herbs.
-
Baste chops for 30–45 seconds.
-
Transfer skillet to oven.
Step 3 – Finish in Oven
-
Roast until internal temp reaches:
-
135°F (juicy, slightly blush)
-
140°F (more traditional, still tender)
-
⏱️ Usually 6–10 minutes, depending on thickness.
Rest (Non-Negotiable)
-
Rest 8–10 minutes, loosely tented.

Carryover cooking will bring final temp to 140–145°F.
Serve
