We have been wanting to offer organic pork meat in our consumer group for a long time and now we have found a project that we liked a lot because the animals can graze in the open air, the farming involves the recovery of an indigenous breed and due to the quality and care that they put into the elaboration of their products.
In Lekunberri (Navarra), José Ignacio Jauregi is one of the architects of the recovery of the “euskal txerri” or “pío negro”, a breed of pig native to here, almost going extinct in the 80s, when there were only about 30 specimens left.
These animals, raised in freedom in an area of 8 hectares of meadow and forest, feed on acorns, chestnuts, bushes, apart from the fodder they are given. Their food and the good treatment they receive results in an excellent quality of pork and sausages. As well as a shop, they have a restaurant in their Maskarada project.
At BBT we want to offer our members the possibility of ordering this fresh pork and sausages on a monthly basis, as an alternative to the consumption of industrial pork from animals that suffer a lack of space on industrial “farms”, are treated with a large number of antibiotics and the pig slurry that are the cause of river and underground water pollution, practices which we do not want to be complicit with!
