Our Pig
Ossabaw Island Pig
The Ossabaw hog is unusual and important for three reasons. Its history as an isolated island population means that they’re the closest genetic representative of historic stocks brought over by the Spanish. Second, the presence of pigs on Ossabaw Island provides scientists with an exceptional opportunity to study a long-term natural population. Third, the Ossabaw is biologically unique, having been shaped by natural selection in a challenging environment known for heat, humidity, and seasonal scarcity of food.
Ossabaws Island Hogs boasts a flavorful meat and fat loaded with fatty acids, omega 3's, unsaturated fat and oleic acid which is predominant in olives
The Ossabaw fat is so unsaturated that it nearly turns to liquid at room temperature.
