This 1/4 Flat Belly cut is sourced from Noir de Bigorre pigs, a heritage breed raised in southwest France under PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) certification. Supplied in four individually portioned 1kg units, this cut highlights the marbled richness and unique quality of this native breed.

Detailed Information
