Olive Oil on Legs: An Ibérico Pork Masterclass

For ages 21 & up

Forget everything you think you know about pork. Often described as "olive oil on legs," Ibérico pork is celebrated for its deep color, exceptional marbling, and rich, buttery flavor. The secret lies in its fat, which is naturally high in oleic acid, the same heart-healthy fat found in olive oil, creating a uniquely tender and flavorful eating experience.

In this hands-on class, we'll explore three of the most sought-after cuts from the legendary Ibérico pig and learn the techniques that bring out their best qualities. Our Ibérico pork comes from Texas-raised pigs descended from purebred Spanish stock, raised outdoors on Hill Country ranchland and allowed to forage naturally on acorns, mesquite beans, and prickly pear. The result is a remarkable fusion of Spanish heritage and Texas terroir.

To complete the feast, you'll prepare fresh corn tortillas from masa and make quick-pickled red onions to add brightness and balance to every bite. Along the way, you'll gain the confidence to select, prepare, and cook Ibérico pork at home while discovering why this extraordinary ingredient has become a favorite of chefs and food lovers around the world. For ages 21 and up. You will enjoy a glass of wine with your meal.
