Mangalica pork

Updated: Jun 4, 2020


 

A pig wrapped in a woolly sheep-like fleece might sound like a joke, but the strangely appealing curly coated sheep pig does exist.


We would like for you to meet Mangalica pigs,


Hailed as the 'kobe beef of pork.'

A SUPERIOR FLAVOURED, BUTTERY PORK


A descendent of the European wild boar and cousin of the black foot Iberian Pig, the Mangalica pig incorporates highly desirable qualities from both, yielding a very versatile meat.


A high monosaturated fat content make the pork ideal for curing and charcuterie, from pancetta to Kolbasz. While, when it comes to cooking, Mangalica pork is equally prized for the tender juicy meat it produces which requires minimal seasoning.

 

The simplest of meals, made with love, can bring joy and peace to a household ..... and also, of course, add some romance to an otherwise ordinary weekday meal. 


So even if you don't traditionally celebrate Valentine's Night, this might be a great opportunity to try something new for a weekday meal ! 


You could pair your Mangalica Burger with some Potato Wedges - and homemade slaw


It's very hard to compare the Mangalica with anything else, as the attributes of this pork are just so amazing - the depth of flavour, the wonderful "umami" that we all know about but can't pinpoint terribly easily .... make this an exceptionally juicy, tasty burger, the like of which you will not find on the high street!
