Find out more about this Limited Release on our blog.
Spanish Iberico pork comes from the Black Iberian Pig, which is native to the Iberian Peninsula. These pigs roam free in oak forests and consume a diet predominantly of acorns. This unique diet leads to richly marbled meat, giving Iberico pork its exceptional flavor and tenderness, often likened to Wagyu beef in its quality.
Iberico pork is prized for its taste but also for its health benefits. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are known for their positive impact on cholesterol levels.
In order to reduce the amount of plastic waste and to make it easy to freeze, our handmade burgers are now layer packed and prepared by the box instead of individually vacuum packed. Simply take out what you’re planning to grill that day and toss the rest in the freezer. Once frozen, the convenient dividers make it easy to remove a layer to thaw for your next gathering.
Goes Great With…
Our Australian wagyu and Spanish Iberico pork blend is a standout centerpiece for any get-together, but every star needs a supporting cast to truly shine. To round out your meal, here are some perfect pairings that complement the rich flavours of our burgers:
-
Sides to Savor: Start with your favourite crisps for a crunchy contrast, or whip up a homemade potato salad — the creamy, cool flavours balances the hearty richness of the burgers. For a fresh option, consider tossing a green salad with a light vinaigrette to cut through the decadent fat of the Wagyu beef and Iberico pork.

Our Preferred Preparation…
Preparing our Wagyu beef and Iberico pork burgers is simple. For the ultimate grilling experience, we recommend the following steps to ensure each bite is as delicious as the last:
-
Preheat Your Grill or Skillet: Start by heating your grill or skillet to medium-high heat. This ensures a nice sear that locks in all the delicious juices.
-
Season Generously: Before grilling, season your burgers to enhance their natural flavours. We suggest using one of our specially curated sea salts from Newfoundland, available in several enticing varieties:
-
-
Plain Newfoundland Sea Salt: Sprinkle a bit of this pure sea salt for a clean, crisp accent that enhances the natural flavours of the Wagyu and Iberico pork without overpowering them.
-
Newfoundland Sea Salt – Alder Smoked: For a touch of smokiness, opt for our Alder Smoked sea salt, which adds a subtle, woodsy aroma perfect for complementing the rich flavours of the meat.
-
Newfoundland Sea Salt – Smoked: If you prefer a deeper smoky flavour, our Smoked sea salt imparts a robust taste that pairs beautifully with the succulent fat marbling of the Wagyu beef.
-
The Butcher Shoppe’s Signature Steak Spice: Alternatively, for a bolder profile, our Signature Steak Spice combines a variety of spices that highlight and elevate the distinctiveness of both Wagyu and Iberico pork.
-
-
Grill to Perfection: Place the seasoned burgers on the grill or skillet. For best results, cook for about 4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
-
Rest Before Serving: Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes off the heat. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the patty, ensuring every bite is moist and flavourful.
