Once nearly extinct, conservation efforts have restored its population, turning it into a national treasure and a symbol of nature’s ingenuity, a pig that carries the spirit of both resilience and rarity.

Originating in Hungary in the nineteenth century from a mix of local pigs, wild boars, and Serbian breeds, the Mangalica evolved to survive cold winters with its dense fur. Beyond its striking appearance, it is prized for its rich marbled meat, considered among the finest in Europe.
