Nebrodi Black Pig

Nebrodi black pigs are medium-small and have a black coat with stiff bristles forming a kind of mane along their back. The pigs are raised in semi-wild or wild conditions in the forests and meadows of the Nebrodi mountains. They are fed supplementary cereals and legumes and kept in small huts called “zimme” only when absolutely necessary or when giving birth. Around 10,000 pigs of this frugal and hardy breed are currently being farmed, 2,000 of which are kept by Presidium producers. The farms are very small and the farmers also process the meat.
