Summer has come and gone on Orcas, we are well into the fall and it really feels like winter. Almost all of the apples and pears have been picked, dried, stored, made into syrup, butter, etc...Here is a picture of cured pork belly from 1/2 Berkshire & 1/2 Mangalitsa pig. We will smoke some and keep some for fresh bacon. The flavor is great and the fat has a noticeable lightness. At the thickest point, the belly is almost four inches thick.
This coming week, we are having one of the 3/4 Mangalitsas slaughtered, so we will be able to compare the two. As in all of Wolly Pigs pictures, the fat is truely amazing and the flavor is exceptional.
