Mangalica fat is obtained from the bacon of the Hungarian Mangalica pig, an old pig breed with thick, woolly hair.
Characteristics:
- High proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid, similar to olive oil).
- Soft consistency, therefore more spreadable than conventional pork lard.
- Pleasant nutty-mild flavor, less 'heavy' than regular pork fat.
- Higher melting point, which makes it suitable for frying.
- Traditionally valued in Hungarian and Austrian cuisine.
It is often described as easier to digest than industrial lard or hydrogenated fats, but of course remains an animal fat with high energy content.
