About Duroc Pork

Duroc is a breed originally developed in the United States. Today, it is widely used across Spain in crossbreeding programmes with Iberian pigs. In particular, Duroc is prized for its exceptional marbling, rich flavour and outstanding texture. These qualities set it apart from standard commercial pork. As a result, it has become a favourite of chefs across Europe. Furthermore, it is raised under traditional Spanish farming methods with careful attention to diet and welfare. Duroc pork delivers a richness and succulence that puts it firmly in the premium category.

The lagarto — from the Spanish for lizard — is named for its long, narrow shape. It is a strip of meat running alongside the spine, between the loin and the ribs. In Duroc pork, it is exceptionally well marbled and intensely flavoured. As a result, it rewards quick cooking on the grill or griddle. Furthermore, it needs nothing more than good sea salt to shine.
