Boccone di Suino Nero dei Nebrodi

Nebrodinero bases its activity on the promotion of the Suino Nero dei Nebrodi, an autochthonous breed raised in respect of tradition. In the woods of northern Sicily the piglets grow free, feeding naturally on berries, acorns, chestnuts and tubers, elements that give the meat an authentic and rich flavour, and this is where Boccone di Suino Nero dei Nebrodi is born

Boccone di Suino Nero dei Nebrodi

The Suino Nero dei Nebrodi is an autochthonous Sicilian pig breed raised for centuries in the mountain and woodland areas of the region. It is easily distinguished by its dark, almost completely black coat, its rustic build and its great ability to adapt to the natural environment.

It is traditionally raised semi-free-range or free-range, feeding on what the territory offers: acorns, roots, wild herbs and cereals supplemented by the breeder. This type of farming gives the meat unique organoleptic characteristics, making it particularly prized. The Suino Nero dei Nebrodi is raised semi-free-range on 140 hectares of predominantly wooded land, where it can move freely and feed naturally on acorns, roots and wild fruits. The unspoiled environment of the Nebrodi Park and the richness of its ecosystem contribute to the animals' wellbeing and give the meat distinctive quality and organoleptic characteristics.

Characteristics of the meat

preserving and enhancing the purity of the Suino Nero dei Nebrodi, raised semi-free-range in the heart of the Nebrodi Park. We operate a closed-loop process, following every stage of the animal's life, from birth to processing. Our pigs feed mainly on the natural resources of the woods, with the sole supplementation of Sicilian barley. Continuous grazing favours a high assimilation of Vitamin E, giving the meat superior organoleptic and nutritional qualities. Each animal is registered with the ANAS Register, guaranteeing the origin and purity of the breed. Processing takes place in our salumeria set in the woods, with manual processing and natural curing that enhance the aromas of the territory.
