"These Mangalitsa pigs were raised with the intent of combining the best qualities of two premium pork varieties: Iberico acorn-finished pork from Spain and the rare wild boar I once hunted. These pigs are finished on almonds, pistachios, and figs to achieve a deep, rich flavor and succulent meat, leveraging insights from Wagyu cattle husbandry."
Our Mangalitsa breeding stock comes from a retiring farmer who previously supplied top Michelin-starred restaurants in the Bay Area, including The French Laundry and Saison. The pork is carefully finished on a diet of nuts, grains, grasses, and alfalfa, creating juicy, flavorful meat. Our initial offering includes 22-month-old Barrows (males) and 14-month-old Boars (intact males).
This exclusive release features a mixed box of Almond Nut-finished Mangalitsa pork, prized for its exceptional juiciness and flavor. Mixed boxes are available in 6, 15, or 25 pounds.
Available cuts (selection may vary):
- Bone-in pork chops
- Pork shoulder chops
- Ground pork
- Pork belly (balanced slices from 14-month-olds or extra fatty 2-pound blocks from 22-month-olds)
- Pork ribs
- Tri-tip
- Flank
- Secreto
Special orders available: Pork skin, lard, bones, heads, and tongues (by request).
Contact us via message or DM for special orders or premium pork cuts. Our curated assortments deliver the full experience of this delicious Mangalitsa pig, known for its melt-in-your-mouth fat, reminiscent of Wagyu beef. We raise these pigs 100% on our farm, with Chef Erik Sun selecting and breeding for optimal marbling and flavor.
Mangalitsa pigs require a longer growth period, contributing to their higher cost. Unlike conventional pigs harvested at 4-8 months, we allow these pigs to mature naturally, enhancing the depth of flavor. The difference between younger pigs and the richly marbled older ones is remarkable.
Mangalitsa pork, from this woolly pig breed, is renowned for charcuterie and lardo. Pictures and videos will be available soon. Limited availability—22-month-old Barrows and 14-month-old Boars are ready for July harvest. Unless otherwise requested, orders will include a combination of both.
