Mangalitsa Fresh Sliced Belly is a cut of pork that comes from the belly of the Mangalitsa pig.  It is sliced about ½ inch thick and comes in one-pound packages. No added ingredients!

Fresh sliced belly is a well-marbled cut of pork that is often used in a variety of recipes such as bacon, pancetta, or pork belly dishes. It has a rich, meaty flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture when cooked properly.

To prepare Mangalitsa fresh sliced belly, it can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices, and then roasted or grilled until the meat is tender and juicy with a crispy exterior. It can also be cured and smoked to make bacon or pancetta.

Mangalitsa's fresh sliced belly is a popular choice among chefs and home cooks who are looking for a premium cut of pork with exceptional flavor and texture. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from breakfast to dinner, and is sure to impress even the most discerning pork lovers.

Be careful, it’s addicting.

A big part of what makes Mangalitsa pork special is its creamy, buttery fat, so we recommend not cooking this belly until it’s completely crisp – much of the fat would be rendered out and lose the flavor. Instead, cook it until the meat is cooked, but the belly is still somewhat pliable.

May be labeled Belly or Side. Both are the same product.
