Jeju black pigs, designated as a 'Natural Monument' since 2015, are a beloved culinary icon of Jeju Island, attracting food enthusiasts and tourists alike. Managed separately by the government, the original breed is protected within specific areas. Meanwhile, most of the black pigs sold in markets are crossbreeds, raised for their delicious taste and economic productivity. While Jeju black pigs boast excellent flavor, issues such as excessive fat content in pork have marred their reputation, leading to calls for sustainable agricultural practices on the island.
