Agriturismo Corboli

We met this breed some years ago.
We have been amused by the true and genuine taste of its meats, roasted meats, completely different from the one of the white common pigs.
Therefore, we decided to breed these unique animals, aware of the fact that it was not cheap, but satisfying.

The Cinta Senese pig is a medium size animal, black skinned, not so thick black bristles, and a characteristic pink (white) stripe (like a belt, actually) that surrounds the chest, shoulders, withers and forelegs. 

The snout is more elongated and narrow than other breeds of pigs, an adaptation to a more rustic way of life; tail plume of bristles at the bottom is almost always carried with no curls.
The food consists mainly of tubers, roots and organic material of the turf.
The ears are small, directed forward and a little 'below, to cover his eyes from the brambles and brush.

With seven centuries of history behind it and for a long time after risking extinction, the Cinta Senese pig can claim the recognition, at national level, the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP).

For more than 10 years, we are breeding with experience and satisfaction these wonderful pigs; enjoying gastronomic success, congratulations and personal appreciation from our customers.

ORIGINS

The Sienese Cinto pig has existed for much longer than any of the other white breeds in northern Europe: the Large White, the Yorkshire and the Landrace. The Sienese Cinto, having been awarded DOP status, is now referred to as the Tuscan Cinto.
