Our customers love Acorn Bluffs Pork. Share a picture of your Acorn Bluff pork and we'll add it to the thread. REMEMBER: Mangalitsa is arguably the best tasting pork in the world. Richer marbling, better flavor, more tender.

This is a Mangalitsa Roast. No, before you ask, it's not beef. It's from the special breed of pork that we raise on our farm in Iowa, called Mangalitsa. The meat is known for its dark red coloring, intramuscular marbling, and taste.

baby Mangalitsa are known for their distinctive "racing stripes." As they age, the racing stripes disappear- maybe because they slow down (but they're still difficult to catch).

Mangas have always been known for their wooly, distinctive coats and marbling/fat profile. Further, the meat is more red and juicy than typical pork- this may be due to more blood flow and denser nutrient content.
