This 500g pack is our thicker-sliced smoked back bacon, made for a traditional breakfast or a bacon sandwich. Back bacon comes chiefly from the pork loin, giving a broad eye of lean meat with fat around the edge. It is different from streaky bacon, which comes from the belly.
The thick-cut rashers are a good choice for a cooked breakfast or a substantial bacon sandwich.
Cook the bacon thoroughly according to the instructions on the pack. For pan cooking, use a moderate heat and turn the rashers as needed, giving the fat time to render. You can also cook it under the grill or in the oven. Cooking time depends on the slice thickness and your equipment. Being smoked does not mean the bacon is ready to eat without cooking.
It is sliced primarily from the pork loin, with lean meat and fat at the edge. It differs from streaky bacon, which is cut from the belly.

the best bacon you can buy

Traditional cut bacon with rind on which gives a superb crunch when grilled. Highly recommend.
Catherine McWilliams (verified owner) –
This is proper bacon reminiscent of the bacon we ate as children. So much taste and no water spitting out. Only drawback – you want more than one slice

For once in my life a bacon without water in the pan. Nice layer of fat, cooked well and taste like no other bacon. My family were farmers in times past and talked of bacon flavoursome and crisp.
