Suino nero dei Nebrodi

Slow Food Presidium: a product and a community protected by the Slow Food Foundation

The Nero Siciliano is an Italian breed of domestic pig from the Mediterranean island of Sicily, in southern Italy. It is raised mainly in the province of Messina, particularly in the Monti Nebrodi, and so is often known as the Nero dei Nebrodi. It may also be called Nero delle Madonie or Nero dell'Etna, for its association with the Madonie mountains and mount Etna respectively. It is one of the six autochthonous pig breeds recognised by the Ministero delle Politiche Agricole Alimentari e Forestali, the Italian ministry of agriculture and forestry.
