"ECHT HAVELLÄNDER APFELSCHWEIN"
The Echt Havelländer Apfelschwein is fed a special diet of apple pomace and grows up on a family-run farm with a focus on animal welfare. On an area of around 18,000 square meters, there are two large stables with ample free-range runs. The animals with a high proportion of Duroc have 50 times more exercise here than animals in factory farming. They also live in social groups and can follow their natural rhythm. This guarantees aromatic, finely marbled meat with high-quality fat, for which there are no limits when it comes to preparation. The Echt Havelländer Apfelschwein - the best pig in Berlin - is produced by Gut Hesterberg exclusively for Havelland Express.
