Why Mangalitsa Estates?

1. Natural Gourmet Flavor without Chemical Additives in Primal Cuts – Our pork is raised without added hormones, antibiotic-free, and we never pump chemicals into primal cuts.  The flavor of our pork comes from the heirloom breed we raise on our family farm.  Our Mangalitsa Pork is raised for its deeper red coloring as well as its marbling – making it some of the most tender and sought after pork, full of flavor and moisture.

2. Craft Quality as Priority – Traditional pigs take as little as 5 months to be fed out; however, we put in over double the time to make sure you get the best-tasting cut of pork every time.  We also bring together a humane production system by raising them in open-air hoops with a nice fluffy bed with straw or stover.

3. Sustainable Practices – Being earth-friendly is vital to any food production system for the long term.  That’s why we implement ways to increase our farm’s sustainability using the latest practices.

4. Family Heritage – Mangalitsa Estates is a family farm.  With our family heritage being in farming ever since our ancestors came to America, we have built on the family tradition of excellence.  We take pride in producing the quality you expect.

5. PORK CA Prop 12 Compliant - We believe in producing a premium craft product with leading welfare standards. 100% of our pork is California Prop 12 Compliant, one of the few if not only Mangalitsa providers with the rights to sell to California-based customers. If you are purchasing your pork online, make sure it’s legal for shipment to California!

6. Traceability - Know where your food comes from. Our pork is born and raised fully on our farm. Product of the USA.

7. Food Ethics - By choosing Mangalitsa Estates, you're joining the fight against the corporate dominance of our food systems. You are picking a family farm that is run by generations of farmers to support. It's a choice to prioritize quality, ethics, and the well-being of farming communities.
