We Tried Campo Grande’s Ibérico Pork Box - and It Ruined Regular Pork for Us

If you think pork is just pork, think again. Campo Grande is bringing Spain’s most prized meat to American kitchens - and after trying their Ibérico Pork Box, it’s hard to look at the grocery store meat aisle the same way.

In this review, we’ll break down what comes inside the Campo Grande Ibérico Pork Box, explore the brand’s mission to elevate everyday cooking, and share our honest thoughts on flavor, quality, and whether it’s worth the splurge.

Key Takeaways

• Campo Grande’s Ibérico pork is deeply marbled, rich, and noticeably more flavorful than conventional pork.
• Humanely raised, pasture-raised pigs fed a natural diet — no shortcuts.
• Versatile cuts that feel restaurant-quality but are easy to cook at home.
• Ideal for food lovers, adventurous home cooks, or anyone ready to upgrade their protein game.

About Campo Grande

Campo Grande was founded with a simple but ambitious goal: bring the best meat in the world to American tables - without the white tablecloth intimidation.

Sourcing directly from family farms in Spain, Campo Grande specializes in Ibérico pork, often referred to as the Wagyu of pork. These pigs are raised outdoors, roam freely, and develop natural marbling (from an acorn diet) that rivals high-end beef. The result is meat that’s richer, juicier, and more complex than anything you’ll find at the supermarket.

Campo Grande cuts out middlemen, ships directly to consumers, and focuses on transparency - from farm to freezer.

Inside the Ibérico Pork Box

So, what actually arrives at your door?

So, what actually arrives at your door?

The Campo Grande Ibérico Pork Box is a curated selection of premium cuts, designed to showcase the range and versatility of Ibérico pork. While exact contents may vary by box, you can expect a thoughtful mix like:
- Ibérico Secreto (chef-favorite cut, insanely tender)
- Ibérico Presa or Pluma (rich, steak-like texture)
- Ibérico Pork Chops or TenderloinGround
- Ibérico pork or sausages for everyday meals

You can see what we got here:

Design & Experience

Unboxing: Everything arrives neatly packed in an insulated box with dry ice. It feels premium but practical - more “chef’s freezer” than flashy influencer packaging.

Prep: No complicated techniques required. Salt,  EVOO, heat, done. The meat does the heavy lifting.

Shown:

- Ibérico Secreto (Bottom)
- Wagyu Beef Tenderloin (Top Right)

Cooking: Ibérico pork cooks beautifully. Because of the natural fat content, it stays juicy even if you’re not a pro. Pan-seared, grilled, or roasted - it’s forgiving and incredibly flavorful.

Taste & Texture: This is where Campo Grande wins. The meat is buttery, savory, and deeply pork-forward without being heavy. The marbling melts as it cooks, creating a richness that feels indulgent but balanced.

This isn’t “pork that tastes like chicken.” This is pork that tastes like itself - only better.

Cut Highlights

Ibérico Secreto:
The standout. Thin, marbled, and intensely flavorful. Sear it hot and finish with flaky salt - it’s shockingly good.

Ibérico Pork Chops:
The juiciest pork chops you'll ever have. Thick, juicy, and nothing like the dry chops most of us grew up with. These eat closer to a steak than a weekday protein.

Ground Ibérico Pork:
Even the most “basic” cut feels elevated. Perfect for meatballs, burgers, or weeknight pasta sauces that suddenly taste restaurant-level.Overall, every cut feels intentional - no filler, no throwaways.

Sustainability & Materials

Campo Grande isn’t just about indulgence - it’s about doing things the right way.

Pigs are pasture-raised on family farms in Spain:

- No added hormones or unnecessary antibiotics
- Animals live outdoors and develop naturally
- Meat is flash-frozen to preserve quality and reduce waste

It’s a model that prioritizes animal welfare, flavor, and long-term sustainability - not mass production.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Box

Keep it simple
Ibérico pork shines with minimal seasoning. Salt, pepper, olive oil, maybe a squeeze of lemon - that’s it.

Cook slightly less than you think
Thanks to the fat content, Ibérico pork stays juicy even at medium-rare to medium.

Pair smart
Roasted vegetables, crusty bread, simple salads, or Spanish-inspired sides let the meat take center stage.

Value for Money
Campo Grande isn’t cheap - and it’s not trying to be.

The Ibérico Pork Box typically lands in the premium category, but when you factor in:

- Restaurant-quality cuts
- Ethical sourcing
- Portion size and versatility
- The sheer difference in flavor

…it feels more like an investment in better meals than a splurge.

For date nights at home, hosting, or simply eating less but better meat - the value is there.

Conclusion

After trying Campo Grande’s Ibérico Pork Box, one thing is clear: this isn’t just better pork - it’s a completely different category.

From the marbling to the flavor to the ease of cooking, everything feels elevated without being intimidating. It’s the kind of product that makes you want to slow down, cook intentionally, and actually enjoy dinner again.

If you’re ready to rethink what pork can be, Campo Grande delivers - one impossibly juicy bite at a time.
