Europe has a long-standing history of pig farming and pork eating, which cultivated a lot of excellent pig breeds and has had a significant impact on the world's pig breeding industry.



China plays a key role in the world's live pig trade as well, the country consumes most of the pork products, and despite China producing half of the total volume of swine, it still cannot satisfy its tremendous market need. European pork is here to fill this gap, European pigs are widely recognized among Chinese consumers for their excellent breeds, high-quality grain feeding, and suitable living environment. In the last three years, the European Union has become the biggest pork source for China, with 48.7% of the market share. Spain stays on the top of the list of China's pork imports accounting for 24.6% market share, and Portugal is also becoming an increasingly important role.

We are delighted to invite you to attend an exclusive tasting event at one of the finest hotel, Conrad. During this tasting, Chef Yingxin Chen will elaborate on different topics, including pork cuts, key merits and specific characteristics of EU pork, with the objective of increasing the knowledge among F&B professionals about pork from the European Union, China's main sourcing partner.

Meanwhile, the executive chef of the hotel Allen Wang, will perform a cooking demonstration on stage. You will get to taste four different dishes, paired with superb EU wines selected by Chief Sommelier Lin Wang. But that's not all! Cured meats such as ham are Spain's and Portugal's national treasure, and as such, a ham carving demonstration and tasting will be performed by ham carver Andy Zhang.
