What Makes It Special?

  • More Fat, More Depth – Old Spot pigs are known for their generous fat marbling, and these particular bellies were even richer than usual. The extra fat renders down beautifully when cooked, giving you crisp, golden edges and a deep, satisfying taste.
  • Old-Fashioned Sea Salt Cure – We use our classic dry cure mix, based on simple, time-honoured methods. The natural sea salt draws out moisture, concentrating the pork’s natural character while ensuring the perfect balance of saltiness.
  • No Quick Fixes – No added water, no artificial preservatives—just proper dry-cured bacon, matured naturally to develop real depth.

How to Enjoy It

  • Crispy or Soft – For crispy rashers, fry slowly over medium heat to render the fat before turning up the heat to crisp the edges. If you prefer softer bacon, cook it gently to let the fat stay silky and rich.
  • Perfect for Cooking – The extra fat makes it ideal for wrapping around meats, chopping into lardons for stews, or simply laying across a roasting joint to baste it as it cooks.
  • A Proper Bacon Sandwich – Serve in thick, buttered bread with brown sauce or mustard for a no-nonsense, satisfying start to the day.

This is bacon as it should be—honest, traditional, and packed with real character. Whether you like it crispy or meltingly soft, our extra fat Old Spot streaky bacon delivers unbeatable satisfaction.
