Mangalitsa Pork: Where to Buy and Try the Prized Meat

FDL

Known as Mangalitsa, Mangalica or Mangalitza, this is the pig prized for its high fat marbled meat that has been hailed as the 'Kobe beef of pork' and attracted critical acclaim from chefs around the world.

As delicious as it is, tracking down this curly-haired rare breed hog is still somewhat of a challenge, despite its growing popularity.

In response to the huge Facebook interest we had from our initial article introducing the delights of the succulent meat, we've put together a list of some of the farms, shops and restaurants where you can source fresh cuts and charcuterie.

Meanwhile, those wanting to go the whole hog should mark the annual Mangalica Festival Budapest in their diary for three days of celebrations from 18 to 20 March 2022 and anything and everything related to Mangalitsa.
