About Game meat, boar, wild, cooked, roasted
Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is the wild ancestor of the domestic pig, hunted and farmed for its dark, flavorful red meat. Leaner and darker than ordinary pork, boar has a rich, deep, slightly sweet and nutty taste with a more pronounced, gamey character that reflects its wild diet. It is a good source of quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, with less fat than farmed pork. A delicacy in European cooking, especially in Italy where it is known as cinghiale, wild boar is slow-braised into hearty ragus for pasta, simmered in red-wine stews, roasted, and cured into rich sausages, salami, and prosciutto.
Because the meat is lean, low and slow cooking keeps it tender and juicy, and like all pork it should be cooked thoroughly. Choose deep-red, firm meat, and keep it well chilled, cooking fresh boar within a couple of days or freezing it.
