About Black Salvonian PigsAbout Black Salvonian Pigs



The Black Salvonian, a breed teetering on the brink of extinction, emerges as a poignant tale from the annals of Croatian pig breeding, celebrated for its delectable meat. This unique porcine lineage found its genesis at the confluence of the 19th and early 20th centuries through a meticulous fusion of the Mangulica, Berkshire, and Poland China pig breeds. Each of these ancestral contributors bestowed upon the Black Salvonian distinctive traits, creating a swine of both historical and gastronomic significance.

Renowned for its exceptional meat quality, the Black Salvonian's journey through time reflects a decline in popularity among breeders, owing to the challenges posed by small litter sizes among the sows. This factor, coupled with evolving preferences in the pig farming landscape, has rendered the Black Salvonian a rare gem, with fewer than 200 individuals remaining worldwide.

As we contemplate the dwindling numbers of the Black Salvonian, we are compelled to appreciate not only its culinary legacy but also the urgency to safeguard this breed, ensuring its place in the mosaic of agricultural biodiversity. The story of the Black Salvonian serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate interplay between heritage, sustainability, and the efforts required to preserve the threads of our agricultural history.
