Why It’s Special: Mangalitsa fat back trim offers a buttery texture and unmatched depth that elevates both rustic farmhouse recipes and refined charcuterie. Its clean melt and heritage pedigree make it far superior to standard pork fat — a true culinary cornerstone.
Conventional pork is bred for leanness, resulting in pale meat lacking flavor and moisture. One look at our Mangalitsa pork tells a different story – the meat is richly red with beautiful marbling throughout. This isn't just a visual difference. The deep color indicates higher myoglobin content and intramuscular fat, translating directly to more flavor and moisture in every bite. When you cook our pork, you'll notice it stays juicy and tender, even if you accidentally overcook it a bit.
