Mangalitsa Pork Belly — Heritage Breed, Skin On, Boneless
Indulge in the rich decadence of heritage Mangalitsa pork belly, know as the "Kobe Beef of Pork". Revered by chefs for its luscious fat cap and exceptional marbling, this cut delivers deep flavor, silky texture, and a crisp crackling finish. Raised with care at Mac’s Farms, our pork comes from pasture raised pigs with no added hormones. Often called the Kobe beef of pork, Mangalitsa transforms everyday recipes into restaurant level experiences.
Each skin on, boneless slab is vacuum sealed and flash frozen at peak freshness. The creamy fat renders beautifully for golden crisp skin while the meat stays tender and luxurious. Slow roast it for a showstopping centerpiece, smoke for burnt ends, or slice for ramen and Korean style bites.
