The properties of the Secreto

The secreto is a coarse-fibered, fan-shaped muscle located between the back and back fat of the herb-cured pork. It is ideal for pan-frying and grilling.

Raising our herb pigs

Our pig farm is located in the picturesque Markgräflerland region, more precisely on the Engler family farm. Home to the first pig hotel in southern Baden since 2019, the pigs enjoy life on straw, have plenty of space to roam in an outdoor area, and live in an animal welfare barn. Every three weeks, we welcome around 240 piglets, which are raised on the farm with local grain and corn from our own harvest.

Measuring core temperature on the Secreto

To cook meat to perfection, we recommend a digital probe thermometer. For accurate measurements, insert the probe tip into the center of the meat.

Tip: Maintain the correct penetration depth by placing the probe lengthwise on the piece and measuring the required depth.
