Collar Bacon – 500g

Dry cured shoulder bacon.

Collar bacon is from the central muscle of the shoulder and is the same cut as a pork ribeye steak. There is a natural seem of fat running through the bacon that adds flavour and moisture during cooking.

We dry cure our collar bacon then wash it under ice cold water before finally air drying.

Chef Brian Turner said “That’s the best bacon I’ve tasted for a long time!”

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.

    Great tasting bacon

    I would have given 5 stars but I am struggling to cook these slices to make a sandwich. I always buy collar bacon, it is my favourite cut but I am not succeeding in getting a tender outcome.
    The slices don’t shrink in the cooking process but I am struggling to get the fat to caramelise and the bacon to be tender enough for a yummy sandwich. I will persevere as the flavour is excellent

    Difficult to find so, pleased to get it. Good taste but not the tenderest.

  6. Kevin Holland (verified owner)

    These collar bacon slices are perfect for making a bacon butty – just the right size, a good thickness, and a great flavour

  7. Mike Broughton (verified owner)

    Loved the flavour but the slices were a bit thick for my taste and made the bacon more chewy than I’m used to but delicious nonetheless

    Really tasty

  13. Mark Allen (verified owner)

    Good bacon

  14. Martin Sisson (verified owner)

    Also bought on a whim. It’s a surprisingly lean cut, and also very thickly sliced. I didn’t use it for anything fancy – just good old bacon and egg sandwiches (though it would also work in a traditional British fry up). It was very tasty, so highly recommended.
