The acorn diet is what drives the distinctive fat profile: Ibérico pigs have a genetic predisposition to infiltrate fat into the muscle tissue, and when that fat is composed largely of oleic acid from the acorns, the result is an intramuscular marbling that is aromatic, fluid, and melts at close to room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe slices are elongated and finely cut, with a colour that ranges from deep pink to purple-red, laced with glossy, translucent fat.
