Known variously as the Mangalitsa or Mangalica, this Old World breed pig is indigenous to Hungary. Its name means “hog with a lot of lard” and is pronounced mahn-ga-leets-ah. Not only does the Mangalica pig have a lot of lard, it has a lot of curly hair which makes it resemble a sheep. Very helpfull to whistand our very harsh winters. The Mangalica is the last pig in existence to sport this unusual fleece, and it was nearly lost to extinction by the 1990s, when fewer than 200 pigs remained in Hungary.
The Mangalica is one of the fattiest pigs in the world; on average 65-70% of the carcass is fat, compared to over 50% in modern breeds. But that meat is considered among the tastiest pork in the world. The meat of the Mangalica pig is reddish, marbled with creamy white fat, and is high in omega-3 fatty acids and natural antioxidants. This is due to the natural diet of cultured skimmed milk or whey, alfalfa and barley. Mangalica lard is lighter, and melts at a lower temperature, than lard from other pigs, because it contains more unsaturated fat.
This is our Plain Ground Pork, nothing added.
