Wild PorkPigs originated in Southeast Asia and were introduced to New Zealand by the French explorer Jean Francois Marie de Suville for food. Pig hunting started some time after their introduction.
A male, called a boar, stands nearly 100cm at the shoulder and can weigh between 45kg and 205kg. The female, called a sow, is smaller than her male counterpart and stand at around 600cm high, weighing up to 114kg. Wild pork is pink and lean, with around 10% fat across the whole carcass. Its earthy undertones provide a magic flavour that cannot be beaten. |
