Mangalitsa Osso Buco is cut for traditional braising — thick, cross-sectioned portions designed to expose rich marrow and dense muscle that transforms under slow, gentle heat.
These cuts are naturally high in collagen and intramuscular fat. When braised low and slow, they break down into spoon-tender meat with a deep, glossy sauce built from marrow, rendered fat, and natural gelatin.
Each pack includes two cross-cut osso buco portions, weighing approximately 2–2.5 lbs total.

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.
