Mora Romagnola Pig

Mora Romagnola pigs are easy to recognize thanks their dark-brown coat, almost black, the unusual almond shape of their eyes and the very long tusks of the males, which makes them look more like boars than pigs. Like many heritage breeds, they are energetic, predisposed to fattening and very hardy, making them ideal for farming outdoors. With the spread of industrial pig farms, the breed has been almost completely abandoned because of its slow growth.

Season

The slaughter of pigs takes place throughout the year for the production of fresh meat, but preferably in the period from autumn to spring for the preparation of cured meats.
