Mangalitsa: Realy Expensive Pig Grease




Here you can see some Mangalitsa fat selling for €9,95 per 150 grams -- that's a mere $42/lb - and that's in a place where Iberico is for sale too.

    One pound is about 450 gramms. That gives $29.85/lb price for me.

    The container is .15 kg for 9.95 euros.

    Here it is figured today, using Google Caluclator. The conversion steps are in the described sequence:

    EURO->dollar (this changes moment to moment)
    (9.95 Euros) per (.15 kg) = 13.73697 U.S. dollar per (.15 kg)

    .15kg -> kg
    (13.73697 U.S. dollars) per (.15 kg) = 91.5798 U.S. dollars / kg

    kg->pound
    91.5798 (U.S. dollars / kg) = 41.5398985 U.S. dollars / pound

    $41.54/lb would be today's equivalent price. It is only different from the time I made the post due to the dollar/euro rate changing.
