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.

If you can remember when milkmen used horses to deliver and it was necessary to visit several different shops to get your groceries. If you can remember the genial white haired old grocer lovingly turning the handle on his old red Berkel bacon slicer then this is the bacon for you! Even if your memory doesn’t extend into the dim and distant past but have heard tales of your granny doing her shopping in this way then this is for you. Exactly as it says it is, proper old fashioned bacon, cut thick, no watery gunk, just the most excellent taste imaginable! I’ve spent a long time looking for this, it’s like coming home!
