Mangalitza pork chop

With a Mangalitza pork chop, you are bringing home a special piece of meat from your own country. The meat comes from wool pigs raised at the Mangalicahof in Zuidwolde, in the heart of the Drenthe countryside. There, the animals grow slowly, fed with feed from their own land and with plenty of space to root and graze outdoors. This results in meat with a beautiful marbling, a fine grain, and a flavor that clearly lingers longer than that of regular pork chops.

What is a Mangalitza pork chop?

A chop is cut from the rib of the pig and has a piece of bone that adds extra flavor when fried or grilled. The Mangalitza pig is particularly notable for its marbling: thin lines of fat that slowly melt away during cooking, making the meat tender and full of character. You don't need to add much, just a little salt and pepper is enough. Just fry it in a pan or grill it, and you have a chop that stands out from the everyday.

Mangalitza from the Mangalicahof

The Mangalitza, also known as the wool pig, is a breed from Hungary but is kept locally in Drenthe. At the Mangalicahof, the animals are given time to grow at their own pace and are fed grains and feed from their own land. This natural pace and method of rearing gives the meat a distinctive flavor and exceptional quality.
