6 Brilliant Wild Boar Dishes In Malta And Where To Get Them From

Article Featured Image

Although related, wild boar and the domestic pig couldn’t taste any more different even if they tried. The former is leaner, has a darker colour and is more tender than its domesticated cousin.

In terms of taste, wild boar has a more complex, deeper and richer flavour and… tastes similar to beef. Also, wild boars are never kept in enclosures and are always free to roam.

Ok – enough with the technical talk, now let’s get down to business.
