A Spanish company producing ham realised the opportunities offered by mangalice swine: the composition of mangalica meat, finely veined with fat, is very similar to that of the ibérico breed they produce their products from. The Spanish company purchased the animal parts they found valuable, and more and more farmers started to raise mangalica again. The renaissance of mangalica started in the second half of the 1990-ies. More and more Hungarian meat factories started to process mangalica meat and released mangalica food product families. The registration of mangalica pigs is done by the re-established National Association of Mangalica Breeders. A pig needs to have a confirmation of the association to be called a mangalica.
