The breed adopts a three-breed cross — Duroc male with Large Yorkshire × Landrace female — producing pork with outstanding fineness of meat quality and umami balance. By raising slowly from 180 to 210 days of age — finishing as rich pork with umami fully concentrated. Under strict hygiene and production management of Farm HACCP and JGAP obtained — safe, stable-quality pork is delivered.
