About Wild boar meat
Wild boar meat is meat from wild-living boar, sold in cuts such as loin, shoulder or leg. Raw meat is typically dark red, with a relatively firm texture; cooked flavour is often described as rich and robust, though it varies with the animal and cut.
It can be roasted, braised, grilled or ground for cooking, with the method suited to the cut. Wild and farmed meat, and lean versus fatty cuts, differ in composition and cooking behaviour; handling and preparation also affect the finished texture.
