Same Iberian-pork butchery tradition — presa sits at the front of the shoulder/loin junction, lagarto runs along the inside of the ribs. Both prized for monounsaturated marbling and quick-cook treatment.
The three premium Iberian pork cuts (secreto, pluma, presa) all come from the front half of the pig and share the heavy marbling characteristic of the Iberian breed.
Both are premium Iberian pork cuts; presa is the eye muscle of the front shoulder, secreto is from the rib area between shoulder and loin.
