Mangalitsa Pork Belly
This Mangalitsa Pork Belly is a show-stopping addition for a meal at any time of day. The interior will be juicy and flavorful from the intense marbling while the exterior gets a melt-in-your-mouth crispiness. Breakfast fried rice, lunch bao, or an unforgettable ramen dinner – any way you serve it, you’ll be met with the desire for another serving (and maybe another and another).
Mangalitsa is referred to as the “Kobe beef of pork,” marbled with vibrant red meat and creamy white fat that results in a tender, supple texture and rich, nutty flavor. Not only is Mangalitsa pork higher in fat content, it contains more unsaturated fat than most pig breeds. This means their lard is lighter, melts at a lower temperature, and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and natural antioxidants.
