Mangalitsa Journey...

Our Mangalitsa pigs came to us in May and we expected them to be with us for quite a while but lots of pasture and plenty of love and care have seen them grow up very fast. Thay are definitely a breed we can recommend keeping...

The Mangalitsa has been called the Kobe beef of pork, this suggests that we will be in for a real treat and having put so much care into the rearing of our stock we put a lot of thought into how we treat the products. Because the Mangalitsa is an extreme fat breed (meaning that it has a higher fat content than usual) it lends itself to curing and is extremely full of flavour. Equally Mangalitsa fat is very high in unsaturated fats due to the grass grazed upon. This unsaturated fat is much better for us than some other types of fat...

We'll dry cure the belly, wet cure the legs for ham and leave the shoulder and loin as natural as possible to celebrate this wonderful animal...

Definitely more to follow...
