one man and his mangalitza
About the Breed
Mangalitza pigs are a large framed, dark-skinned, curly coated pig that originate from Austira/Hungary. They are an extremely hardy breed, rarely becoming ill and capable of surviving the harsh winters of the region in which they were farmed. Useful qualities in areas where there were no vets or animal hospitals.
The meat produced from Mangalitza’s was once in great demand all over Europe and even traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange. At its peak a hundred thousand animals a year were sold from Hungary to the West. Mangalitza’s are renowned for producing high quality bacon, the original Hungarian salami sausage and parma ham.
and far more practical than a toaster !
