About the breeds:
RED WATTLE
Origin: 18th Century Louisiana by way of New Caledonia.
Production: A consortium of 18 Amish families in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas. Accounting for fewer than 1,000 annual registrations in the United States.
History: French colonists brought these hogs to New Orleans as a favored meat breed. The Red Wattle eventually would populate the forests of Texas where they were rounded up and brought to the great slaughterhouses of Chicago. Recognized by their signature wattles that hang from the jowl, the Red Wattle resembles Kunekune pigs of New Zealand.
Flavor Profile: Described as a cross between pork and beef, Red Wattle is floral and robust, concentrated and bold.
BERKSHIRE
Origin: 1823 Kentucky/ Illinois by way of Western England and outside London.
Producers: David Newman and a consortium of 12 family farms in Kansas, Missouri and Iowa.
History: For years the Royal Family kept a large Berkshire herd at Windsor Castle — our Berkshire pigs are traceable back to these old English genetics. This would eventually become the most popular Heritage breed of pig in the United States because of its supreme marbling. Prized by the Japanese who imported it as "Kurobuta" pork, the Berkshire is recognized by 6 white spots at the tip of its feet, nose and tail.
Flavor Profile: Sweet with depth of flavor, Berkshire pork is balanced and the most universally loved of all the Heritage breeds.
