The breed of Greek black pig is the oldest breed of pig we know and the most common until the 1960s. In fact, its description exists in the Odyssey, as the animals kept by the faithful swineherd of Odysseus, Eumeos, belonged to this breed. The living of the Greek black pig in the inaccessible hinterland and islands does not allow it to acquire a thick layer of fat like other species of pigs, which do not move much. An ancient Homeric pig breed bred for very soft & tasty meat with lots of omega 3 (Ω3)! Unique product certified by the European Mediterranean Program QUBIC.
