Our Old Fashioned Smoked Streaky is thick-cut heritage breed bacon with the rind left proudly on. Cured traditionally with sea salt, cracked black pepper and thyme at Mount Grace Charcuterie, then gently smoked for a deep, savoury finish. Rich, buttery layers of pork belly make it perfect for a proper breakfast, slow rendering in the pan, or wrapping around roasts and game.
£11.50
There is something deeply satisfying about proper streaky bacon made the traditional way. Our Old Fashioned Smoked Streaky begins with heritage breed pork raised slowly on North Yorkshire farms—animals chosen for their exceptional fat quality and depth of flavour. Unlike modern commercial pork bred for extreme leanness, heritage breeds naturally develop generous layers of creamy fat throughout the belly. That fat is where the flavour lives, delivering bacon that cooks crisp at the edges while remaining beautifully succulent at its heart.
The cut itself comes from the pork belly, a cut prized by butchers for its alternating layers of muscle and sweet, delicate fat. When cured and cooked correctly, these layers render gradually, producing bacon that crackles and crisps while retaining a remarkable juiciness. Proper belly bacon has a richness that leaner cuts simply cannot match.
Traditionally Cured at Mount Grace Charcuterie
Our streaky bacon is prepared to our own classic Yorkshire recipe at Mount Grace Charcuterie. The pork is carefully cured using:
This slow curing process seasons the meat right through while gently drawing out moisture, concentrating the natural sweetness of the pork.
Once cured, the bacon is naturally smoked, allowing aromatic wood smoke to weave through the fat and muscle. This traditional smoking process develops a warm, rounded smokiness that complements the sweetness of the pork without overpowering it.
Finally, the bacon is thick sliced with the rind left on—a detail true bacon lovers appreciate. The rind protects the meat during cooking, helping it retain moisture, while the fat beneath renders slowly to produce crisp edges and deep savoury flavour.
For the best results, cook streaky bacon slowly so the fat has time to render.
Pan Method (recommended):
Because streaky bacon contains generous fat, it benefits from gentle heat rather than aggressive frying, allowing the flavourful fat to baste the meat as it cooks.
Serving Suggestions
This is bacon that transforms simple dishes into something memorable. Try it:
The result is bacon with real depth of flavour—smoky, savoury and beautifully rich, exactly as streaky bacon should be when made with patience, heritage pork, and traditional curing.

I haven’t been able to buy smoked streaky that has such a lovely dark smoke for many years. I especially like that this company slices the rashers thicker than is currently the norm. I will be buying my bacon form this company from now on, yes, it’s more expensive but it’s worth every penny.

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!
