Chef Notes

Wild Boar

Most Wild Boar sold today isn’t truly wild. Even though it sounds like an oxymoron, Wild Boar is often farm-raised, since “Wild Boar” is a distinct species of hog, regardless of whether it’s truly wild/feral or not.

Some Wild Boar, on the other hand (like ours), is actually wild Wild Boar. Each Wild Boar is hunted, trapped and brought to a holding pen before slaughter.

Flavor Profile:

The wildness of true Wild Boar gives it a distinct game flavor that farm-raised Wild Boar simply cannot match. It’s slightly sweet, a tad nutty, and intensely exotic. Although similar to domestic pork and farm-raised Wild Boar, wild Wild Boar has a deeper color, leaner texture, tighter grain, and bolder taste.

Applications:

Since Wild Boar is easily substituted for pork in any recipe, its culinary possibilities are virtually endless.
