About PigstockTC

This three-day course is designed to provide you with an appreciation of what makes the Mangalitsa pig unique, from its breeding and raising practices, to the methods of processing a hog from the inside all the way out, and finally to producing world-class salumi and charcuterie products. We will also compare Mangalitsa to Berkshire/ Duroc and commercial/market hogs.
