Porc Negre Mallorquí, raised in freedom and tradition
We are Mallorcapigs, a company dedicated to free-range farming of the porc negre mallorquí, reviving the craft of Balearic rural life and respect for a native breed at risk of disappearing.
Who we are
A company in love with Mallorca
Mallorcapigs was born from a passion for traditional Mallorcan rural life and for the conservation of the porc negre, a native breed at risk of disappearing. We are a team dedicated to reviving the craft of our grandparents, blending it with modern standards of animal welfare, traceability and quality.
Our herds, from central and southern Mallorca, are spread across dry-farming estates and Mediterranean woodland, where the animals roam free-range, feeding on acorns, grass and wild roots. The result is authentic meat with the unique character of Balearic rural life.
- ✓Free-range farming — the animals live outdoors, with room to move and express their natural behaviour.
- ✓Full traceability — we know exactly which estate and which litter each animal comes from.
- ✓Local commitment — we work with island farmers, supporting the rural economy and the native breed.
Our Porc Negre Mallorquí
A native breed, raised the way it has always been done
The porc negre mallorquí is a native pig breed of the Balearic Islands, dark-skinned and rustic in character, adapted over centuries to the island's climate and landscape. We raise it following traditional rural methods, unhurried and without shortcuts.
Free-range farming
Our animals live outdoors on dry-farming estates and Mediterranean woodland, with plenty of room to move, forage and socialise.
Traditional feeding
They feed on whey, acorns, grass, roots and grain, following the historic diet of Balearic rural life, with no industrial feed or growth accelerators.
Protected native breed
The porc negre mallorquí is a breed at risk of disappearing. Every litter we raise helps preserve this unique genetic heritage of the island.
Artisan curing
We use the meat to make sausages and cured products following traditional Mallorcan recipes, with long, unhurried curing times.
Our honey
We also produce pure Mallorcan bee honey
As part of our commitment to the environment and the island's biodiversity, we keep a considerable number of apiaries spread across our estates. From them we obtain a 100% pure, artisan honey, cold-extracted and produced in limited quantities. Discover it at mallorcabees.com.
Environment & values
We care for the land because the land cares for us
Extensive farming and native breeds are key to protecting biodiversity, the landscape and the rural economy of Mallorca. That's why we favour a respectful production model, far removed from intensive livestock farming.
Respect
For the animals, their natural cycles and their wellbeing, never forcing growth or yield.
Sustainability
Estates integrated into the landscape, free of industrial feed and aggressive practices on the land.
Conservation
We support the conservation of the native breed and of the island's natural woodland areas.
Closeness
Local production and close relationships with those who care for the land alongside us.
Currently expanding
Growing with our feet on the ground
Mallorcapigs is in a phase of continuous growth. We are expanding our network of estates and maintaining a second line of activity, rooted in the same respect for the land.
New estates for farming
We are actively looking to acquire rustic land and natural, wooded estates in the south of Mallorca — spacious, well-oriented land where we can expand our herds in complete harmony with the environment, without losing quality or authenticity.
Mallorcan bee apiaries
Those same estates also let us maintain our other line of activity: free-range apiaries of Mallorcan bees, from which we produce a pure honey in small, artisan quantities.
