As per an email from Chef Lenny Russo, Heartland will begin this weekend to serve pork from locally raised Mangalista pigs. He notes that the lard-type pigs “have a depth and intensity of flavor that is unlike other pig breeds that are currently available in this market. Both the French Laundry and The Herbfarm are featuring Mangalista pork.” He adds: “I sampled the first of these pigs a couple of weeks ago. Mega and I had some of the bacon for breakfast followed by some loin chops for dinner. While it was quite delicious and unlike any other pork I have had outside of Europe, I have to admit that, like foie gras, it should be consumed in moderation.” [Click here for a PDF of the detailed and highly interesting email]
