But organic for animal foods can mean very little.
Well, I said 'organic' for lack of a better word. I live in Portugal and here we say 'biológico', which literally means 'biological'. For meat, this means it's free-range and grassfed (in the case of ruminants). I'm not sure what the pigs are fed, and unfortunately the website of the farm I buy them from is currently shut down for maintenance. I do, however, trust that they are healthy. I'm also storing the fat in the fridge with salt, which should kill any existing or newcoming parasites and bacteria (right?) -- I wash the salt off before eating it.
