THE POINT OF IT
What makes it different
Where ground pork comes from
Every cut we sell leaves trim behind. On a lard breed that trim is rich, and grinding it is the honest use for it — not a lesser product, just a different shape.
Why the fat matters here
Commodity ground pork is often lean enough that you need oil in the pan. This is not. It renders as it cooks, and what comes out is worth keeping.
Unseasoned
Nothing added. Sausage, meatballs, ragù, dumplings, a burger — it is the base for all of them, and none of the seasoning decisions have been made for you.
Ground pork is the cheapest way into this breed. Same animal, same fat, a fraction of what a roast costs.
FROM THE FARM
We raise Mangalitsa here in Monticello, Kentucky, and have every animal cut at a USDA-inspected plant down the road. They grow slower than a commodity hog and they put that time into fat rather than lean, which is the whole point of the breed.
How to cook it
1
Brown it in a dry pan over medium-high. Do not add oil — you will have more fat than you need within a minute.
2
Leave it alone until it has color on the bottom. Stirring too early steams it and you lose the browning that carries the flavor.
3
Ground pork is done at 160°F, not the 145°F used for whole cuts.
4
Pour off the rendered fat and keep it. It is the same fat we sell by the tub, and it improves anything you fry in it.
What you're getting
One package of Mangalitsa ground pork.
Unseasoned — ground pork and nothing else.
Cook ground pork to 160°F, not the 145°F used for whole cuts.
Mangalitsa raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
