What is "Maiale Tranquillo®"?
"Maiale Tranquillo®" ("Tranquil Pig") is a concept that was born in the 1960s and refers to a particular type of pig farming that focuses on animal welfare, natural growth, and quality nutrition. This approach contrasts with that of intensive farming, avoiding stress, poor living conditions, and accelerated growth for the animal.
The "Tranquil Pig" grows freely, outdoors, breathing clean air, and is not subjected to any kind of force to allow "high-performance" growth in reduced time. On the contrary, its natural rhythm of development is respected: it takes two years for the meat to firm up and for the right layer of fat to develop. The goal is to reach a weight of 300 kg with patience and attention, through the use of adequate spaces and careful genetic selection.
Nutrition plays a key role in this process. The diet is mainly based on corn produced and dried directly by the company that raises the pigs. This allows direct control over the quality of the food provided to the animals and contributes to enhancing the produced fat, which becomes a distinctive sign of the meat.
