    WHAT THEY WANT
    What makes it different
    What a hock is
    The joint between the foot and the ham — mostly skin, bone and connective tissue. Almost nothing to eat on its own, and that is not the job.
    What the cure and the smoke add
    These arrive already cured and smoked, so they season the pot as they cook. That is the classic ham-hock flavor in beans, greens and split pea soup, and you do not have to build it from scratch.
    Salt the pot late
    Because the hock brings its own salt, taste before you add any of your own. We sell an uncured version if you would rather control it yourself.
    One hock will carry a whole pot. Put it in at the start, not the end — the flavor needs hours to come out and get everywhere.
    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 use them
    1
    Straight into the pot with the beans or the greens. No browning needed — the smoke is already there.
    2
    Cover with water, bring it up, then hold it at the barest simmer.
    3
    Four hours at least. They are done when the meat falls off the bone and the pot has gone cloudy and rich.
    4
    Pull the meat back into the pot, throw the bone away, and taste before you add any salt. It may not need a grain.
    What you're getting
    Mangalitsa hocks, cured and smoked.
    An uncured, unsmoked version is sold separately.
    Mangalitsa raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
    Weights are averages. Every package is cut by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
