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.

First time ordering this and I love that it’s nice large slices, good thickness and no shrinkage or tons of water in the pan. My only complaint was it was so incredibly salty. I ended up soaking it for 8 hours to remove some salt and make it more edible. I may have just got the end of a piece as the slices looked like that.

I’ve been looking for this everywhere locally to take me back to when I left home to join the police (rozzers not the band) nearly 50 years ago. Try explaining collar bacon to a supermarket assistant who’s never heard of it- “No thanks I don’t want back or streaky”. This is delicious and the memories came flooding back. But on the next order the friends I gave some to will have to do some serious pleading. It’s mine and I’m going to scoff the whole lot!

A good alternative to the usual cuts – will use the collar to create my own bacon in the future.

Very meaty, thick but not enough fat for my taste (looks obvious from the photo, but I wanted to try). Could have been cured for longer.
