Introducing CERTIFIED MANGALITSA!

What’s so special about Mangalitsa by AZ Fine Swine?

The taste! 

 

You may wonder why Mangalitsa costs more than other heritage pig breeds. They require nearly twice as much of everything as other pigs - more time to mature, high quality food, and more feed to finish them. This is partly why the breed nearly became extinct when farmers went to cheaper, leaner, and less flavorful varieties of pork. 

 

The Mangalitsa at AZ Fine Swine with their natural “fur coat,” access to fresh water and locally raised on a all natural diet.  This diet gives their fat an amazing quality and consistency - higher in monounsaturated fat. 

 

Serve Mangalitsa by AZ Fine Swine and you’ll discover why the breed is renowned for its superior fat quality, incredibly concentrated flavor, and marbleized meat. You will not only taste the difference, but your mouth will feel the difference of the rich succulent texture of the meat with no oily feeling in the mouth. That is the monounsaturated fat which is Mangalitsa by AZ Fine Swine.
