Description: The Mangalitsa shoulder roast is marbled with rich fat and has a good balance of collagen and connective tissue, making it perfect for slow roasting or braising. Mangalitsa's high-fat content makes this cut incredibly flavorful and juicy when cooked.
Texture and Flavor: This roast is hearty and rich, with a savory, deep pork flavor that is enhanced by the fat content. The fat renders beautifully during slow cooking, contributing to the meat’s tender texture and rich taste.
Cooking: The Mangalitsa shoulder roast benefits from slow roasting, braising, or slow-cooking methods to break down the connective tissue and achieve tender, pull-apart meat. It can also be used for pulled pork dishes or cooked as a whole roast.
Use: Great for family-style meals, barbecue, or as a centerpiece for large gatherings. Ideal for slow-roasting or braising for pulled pork or gourmet pork roasts.
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.
