Mangalitsa

The Strange-Looking Hungarian 'Sheep' Pig

Descended from the wild boar, Mangalitsa is a rare breed of domestic pig. Their fat bodies wrapped in tight curls will baffle everyone and trick you into thinking that they are actually sheep.
But, the truth is they are the tastiest and fattiest pigs in the world, having as much as 70% body fat. The Mangalitsas hail from the highlands of Austria and Hungary. Archduke Joseph Anton Johann crossbred the traditional Hungarian Szalontai and Bakonyi breeds with Serbian Sumadia pigs.
