In the States it is getting attention because it is now being
raised in the Seattle area.

Not your "other white meat." This meat is dark brown, fatty and the most
amazing taste. Nothing like typical store bought pork. You might have heard
of this family of pigs, going by Heritage names. This one just happens to
be the most fatty and flavorful of them all.

I contacted them last year after an appearance in Saveur. More like
30.00/lb back then. Plus 75.00 crating and shipping.
It'll drop, as production catches up. Smithfield, or whoever.
Supposedly, these pigs love to root, and can decimate an acre of
greenery in just a few hours. Some nice videos of the pigs on the
woolypigs website.

It sounds like this is the Kobe beef of pigs. I can't wait to
give it a try one of these days.
