The English Large Black

The English Large Black pig is a rare heritage breed that originated in Southwestern England in the late 1800s. As Great Britain’s only entirely black pig, it is easily recognized by its massive frame and large, floppy lop ears that cover its eyes to shield them while foraging. Renowned for their exceptionally docile temperament and sunburn-resistant skin, these “gentle giants” are premier pasture grazers that thrive in outdoor environments. While the breed nearly went extinct after WWII due to the rise of indoor commercial farming, it is heavily prized today by chefs for producing succulent, old-world style pork with an incredibly tender texture and rich, micro-marbled fat.
