The fat cap on my 18 month mangalitsa shoulder is insane, massive! So I'd like to find some way to use it as it's a lot of product that hopefully I won't have to waste.
And yeah, I've read Mangalitsa are the only pig with a greater concentration of fat to meat. Super ridiculous fatty pigs, but also read that the fat is mostly (if not all) unsaturated, so it's not as bad for you as the types of fat you'll find on most other pig breeds. Again, just what I've read -- if I'm wrong please correct me.
Lastly, I have a rack of kurobuta spare ribs that have thawed in my freezer. I'll likely oven roast them tomorrow to get a sense of the flavor, but yes, they are so much smaller compared to the spare ribs you get at Cash & Carry. But, on the upside, they feel very meaty! They came from Snake River Farms.
