PrintWooly Pigs Now Available in the States
Move over, Berkshire pork: a new heritage pork is set to take center stage. The Mangalitsa, a breed of furry pigs raised in Central Europe recognized for their high-lard quality, are now available for the first time in the States at Seattle's U-District Farmers Market thanks to Wooly Pigs, the only importer and producer of these pigs.
Considered one of Europe's best-tasting pigs, these gigantic hairy beasts have twice the marbling than that of your average pork, and it's also more unsaturated, giving it a lighter taste and allows it to melt at lower temperatures (you can even whip Mangalitsa lard like cream!). The popularity of fatty pork doesn't seem to be dying out anytime soon, and the introduction of mangalitsa to the American market should be something to keep tabs on for all you fatty pork fans (just take a look at the cuts!).
