Morso della Bestia

This month’s menu features: 

All-Natural, Durham Ranch Wild Boar - Cinghiale   www.durhamranch.com

Durham Wild Boar is all natural and feral from Texas. It is trapped in the wild and processed exclusively under the Durham Ranch label. Described as sweet, nutty and earthy,  Wild Boar is a healthy alternative to beef due to its high protein and low fat content.
