Mangalitsa

Mangalitsa pigs originated in the former Austro-hungarian region, they were first imported to the US in the early 2000s. Mangalitsa are known for their distinctive wooly coat and for producing tender meat and delicious high-quality fat. Mangalitsa are a slow growing breed, it takes 12-18 months for them to mature and develop their characteristic flavor.

Mangalitsa are a lard pig. While most conventional pigs are bred to have very little body fat, Mangalitsa were cultivated specifically for their high-quality fat, which is what provides the meat its delicious flavor. Mangalitsa fat is a delicacy; it is excellent for rendering lard, adding to wild game or other lean meat, or can be smoked, cured, or whipped and enjoyed as a sweet or savory spread.

Our Mangalitsa are fed Alaska grown grain and raised 100% outdoors.
