Description
Our collar bacon is from the shoulder of North Yorkshire farmed, rare breed pork. We select the pork for its higher fat content, as we believe that this leads to a much tastier product.The slow growing breeds that we use for our bacon put on weight and add flavour slowly in a natural way.
We take the central muscle from the pork shoulder. The same muscle that butchers use for pork ribeye steaks. This is then dry cured slowly before being rinsed in iced water and hung to air dry to develop a fantastic texture and concentrate the flavour.
Collar bacon is just right for making a bacon sandwich with a perfect balance of tender meat and melting fat for extra flavour.
If you want to make your own collar bacon at home, you can buy a whole pork collar and cure it yourself. Let us know if you need some help or a sachet of cure mix.

A lovely taste of years gone by – my
relatives had a farm and in years gone had their own pigs slaughtered and hung the bacon in what they called a dark room – just the same taste it took me back.

Probably the best bacon for a buttie, dry cured and dry cooked, taste moreish and unresistable. Give me such a breakfast every day.

If the bacon that we have already tried from the breakfast box is anything to go by I expect this will be fantastic.

I can’t go back to supermarket bacon after trying this. When you grill it there’s only a tiny bit of fat that comes out and absolutely no water! Try it, you won’t regret it

Never had bacon like this before (in a good way!) amazing flavour but still being lean which is impressive. It made life changing BLTs!

Perfect flavoursome bacon without the watery white stuff.
