Pasture Raised Ground Pork by Texas Iberico® (16 oz)

This ground Iberico pork is perfect for crafting delicious burgers and sliders, or enhancing any recipe that calls for ground pork, from meatballs to chili.

This delicious ground pork comes from Iberico pigs raised outdoors for 18 months in the Texas Hill Country. The pigs roam freely, feasting on acorns, grass, herbs, sweet mesquite beans, prickly pear fruit and other wild foods. This uniquely Texan diet gives the pork a complex, rich flavor.

All the Texas Iberico® pigs live outside their entire lives on one ranch, wandering the pasture together with over an acre of rangeland per animal. Texas Iberico® pork is certified Prop 12 compliant, which means the animals are raised with care, meeting or exceeding the animal welfare standards set by California Proposition 12.
