ESGUERRA KUROBUTA: THE WAGYU OF PORK BY ESGUERRA FARMS
The world-renown Kurobuta of pure Berkshire breed, sought after by chefs and people with sophisticated taste for its tender, juicy and flavor-rich characteristics is now locally produced in the Philippines. Nestled near Mount Malarayat in Lipa, Batangas, Esguerra Farms & Stud Inc. began its journey in 2000 as a family resthouse and horse breeding farm. Evolving from these humble beginnings, the farm has become the premier and exclusive producer of purebred Berkshire pigs.
Farmed the Esguerra way — a commitment to humane livestock care and sustainable agriculture, these thoughtful practices include raising Berkshire pigs in a pristine environment with adequate access to space, nourishing them plant-based, free from antibiotics and growth hormones, and growing seasonal organic fruits and vegetables. This natural approach provides a better quality of pork and a healthier lifestyle choice for consumers.
Today, as a Filipino-owned enterprise committed to Farm-to-Table excellence, Esguerra Farms stands at the forefront of sustainable farming innovation, maintaining world-class reputation.

100% PURE BERKSHIRE
In Japanese, "Kuro" means black, and "Buta" means pig. All black pigs can be called Kurobuta, but not all black pigs are Berkshire. Esguerra Kurobuta Pure Berkshire is renowned for its black hue and the six distinctive white points at the nose, tail, and bottom of each leg.
QUALITY AND FLAVOR
Renowned for its rich, buttery texture and intense flavor, our Berkshire pork has high marbling, ensuring superior tenderness and juiciness. From farm to table, we guarantee freshness and quality.
FARM PRACTICES
Our pasture-raised Berkshire pigs boast of higher pH levels, resulting in high marbling, natural flavor retention, and a healthier, redder color. This approach reduces cortisol production, potentially preventing stress transfer to humans. We further enhance their well-being with music therapy and a plant-based diet, adhering to all-natural farming practices.
