So glad I live in the Netherlands. Iberico is basically a regional product. It's only a thousand km away. That makes the prices of Iberico way more affordable.

Yup, its like 11€ for 2 of those chops

[@matthewlanglands6943]

Leave the fat on and render it. Way better! Trimmed too much fat off.

[@MrMorganca]

Iberico here I come! Another delicious video, Al! Happy 4th!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks, Chris! I have to admit I’m really pumped about Meat N’ Bone nowadays. The stuff they source like this is crazy good!

[@kuntakentay6969]

the Berkshire available by me looks like your iberico pork. You must've gotten a lower end version. The marbling on the Berkshire looks like wagyu not like the Berkshire you had there. its a shame you didn't get a good one for the test.

[@SuperSkunk1420]

@@kuntakentay6969 you can not compare to iberico

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

So good

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks James!

[@NelsonWin]

Dunno but both looks delicious to me. Also that hog is omnivorous so he tastes better. 😄

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

They were both delicious - but OMG that Iberico! And both were raised as vegans - so yummy! Thanks for watching Nelson!

Where are you in Spain, Pepe?

@@BehindTheFoodTV well , i know the pigs from my town , north of the province of Sevilla (southern spain). But i live in Sevilla (the province capital)

[@EVMANVSGAS]

Berkshire is so much better than regular pork that I don't think it's worth that much more for iberico for a little better. Also, you should have trimmed the double chop down to the same thickness to do a comparison. Even normal cheap pork is way better when being cooked in a thicker piece.

[@SDSBBQs]

Al, it seams you didn't add the cards. I guess if you had to treat yourself you might as well go all the way! Thanks for sharing.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

That's so strange - I just went back and checked and there are 2 cards and 2 end screen elements. I will have to test it from another device. Hope all is well Dash!

Great video and your daughter reminds me of mine. Straight to the point 😂😂

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Sounds like you also have an amazing daughter!

[@catlogiknation2885]

Somebody watches Guga Foods. lol 😂

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Sometimes. But what makes you say that about this video?

[@justinallmond3855]

This is not an equal comparison. Iberico pigs are much older at butcher. Age equals flavor. You would need someone to specially raise a Berkshire to 16+ months.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Hi Justin. Given that these are what people can buy, I think the comparison is valid. I.e. - is the Iberico you can buy worth the price difference vs the Berkshire you can buy. But it's ok if you disagree as long as you watch lots of my videos!!! :-)

[@pepeyufera97]

U. Ad at pigs bro?

[@ulasbolan4528]

Have you done berk and mangalitsas chops and was it much of a difference.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Hi Ulas. I haven’t don’t mNga chops but they are on my list. For shoulder and tenderloin I prefer Iberico but mangalista could give it a run for it’s money on chops.

Ibérico pork is the the 'Wagyu' of pork.... Funny, I thought Mangalitsa pork was the Wagyu of pork. Wagyu beef is amazing!!! Why do all you Americans want to steal that label? It's getting boring!!!!!!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

We do it to upset you Paul. Is it working?

[@retroflashbackdude]

I recently scored some Iberico pork from Campo Grande. They have several Iberico cuts including some lesser known cuts like the abanico (rib cap), coppa (aka mogote, from the upper part of the collar, basically the pork equivalent of chuck eye), 3 different secretos (the classic one from the shoulder, jowl secreto which can be used like guanciale, and belly secreto), even Iberico flank and skirt steaks to name a few. There’s a $150 minimum for building a custom 📦, but their curated boxes are exempt from their $150 minimum.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks for the tip!

[@hugotendam5349]

i like the test you did, but sometimes it feels more like a bunch of productreviews bunched together, then about cooking meat

Sorry if that bothered you, Hugo. I promise I only talk about products that I use myself and love. I hope that helps! -Al

[@ernk75]

Where did you get the berkshire from or was this a plug for meat and bone only.

[@mcknight7755]

Most likely WikdFork

[@EVMANVSGAS]

Yes that is where I get mine from is wildfork. And it is really good, so much better than the regular stuff from a grocery store

[@ThatOneGuy509]

I think I might just stick to Berkshire… la la la laaaaaah to iberico (if I don’t know the difference I won’t miss it) 🤣 Oops should have sent you a pic of the lamb I did last night, smoked on the top of the WSM with cherry then took the top and mid section out and seared over the coals… a perfectly reverse seared boneless leg that was soo tasty

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Hey Andrew! You're not going to go wrong with Berkshire that's for sure......but never trying Iberico is like never trying Wagyu beef! That lamb sounds delicious!

[@absoz]

Will need to see what the availability of the iberico is without upsetting the financial controller … I know of a few local places with Berkshire Hope Leah has a fab 10th, and yes, the lamb was 👍👍

[@donkeydrangis216]

Hey pal, I think it’s seems your daughter isn’t super interested in your pork chops. Might be worthwhile to make sure she actually enjoys doing this, because it really doesn’t look like it.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

OMG thanks for pointing that out! You know I really struggle for quality parenting advice. I never even thought of turning to loser trolls who live in their mother’s basement for advice. Do you offer a paid consulting or family counseling service I can join?

That's what the parents always say at first. Then the kid grows up to have a crippling addiction to plant-based food and everyone says "Now looking back, there were always signs".
