Feral pigs are never hunted, so they never develop the gamey taste that other games can have. Instead, the flavor is bold yet sweet, earthy, and nutty from the tubers, grasses, nuts, and roots that the animals eat when they forage. This gourmet bacon has been lightly smoked and cured, adding saltiness and smokiness to the profile. It’s also much leaner than regular pork without skimping on the sheer enjoyment factor of regular bacon.
Because wild boars are an invasive, destructive species without any natural predators, eating this bacon is also a sustainable choice! The wild boar is trapped humanely, never chased. Feral pigs roam the countryside, living a natural, free-grazing lifestyle devoid of antibiotics, hormones, or chemicals.
Compared to pork, wild boar is lower in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol and is higher in protein. It is a versatile addition to your menu and pairs well with sweet or savory ingredients. It is much more fragrant and has a tremendous depth of character that you’ll never find in factory pork.
