"These Mangalitsa Pigs were grown with the intention to combine my favorite aspects of my two favorite porks: Iberico acorn-finished from Spain and the elusive Wild Boar that I used to hunt finishing on almonds, pistchios, and figs.
My goal is to create a deep flavor with rich succulent meat that also we have learned from Wagyu cattle husbandry."
Our Mangalitsa breeding stock comes from a farmer who is retiring but used to supply 3 michelin star restaurants in the bay area (French Laundry, Saison). The pork is finished on nuts and grains as well as grasses and Alfalfa - it is juicy and flavorful and the initial offering has 22 month old Barrow (male) and 14 month old Boar (male, intact)
Our initial offering is a mixed box of Almond Nut finished Mangalitsa - so juicy and flavorful. Mixed box of 6, 15, or 25 pounds.

please message us / DM for special order / premium cuts only otherwise assortment is in order to get the full experience of this delicious pig where the fat melts like Wagyu - on the tongue! We raise these 100% ourselves and the inventory is special stock of chef Erik Sun; selected and bred for marbling + flavor.
💎Mangalitsa is pricier to raise because rather than rapid growth pigs harvested much younger at 4-8 months, it takes a lot longer to grow and we let nature grow it at its own rate rather than have high spikes in glucose. Our goal is flavor development and there is a difference between the young pigs and the darker, more marbled older ones.
Mangalitsa is a wooly pig whose meat is legendary for charcuterie and lardo. Pictures + videos to come. LIMITED availability. we have 22 month barrow and 14 month boar available for July's harvest. Unless otherwise specified, we will send a combination of both.
