What Makes Traditional Back Bacon Special?
A Proper British Breakfast Classic
Back bacon is one of the defining ingredients of a traditional British breakfast.
Cut from the back of the pig, it offers a generous portion of lean meat alongside a natural strip of fat that adds flavour during cooking.
It's the perfect choice for customers who enjoy a satisfying rasher of bacon rather than a predominantly fatty cut.
Traditionally Dry Cured
Our bacon is described as dry cured, a traditional curing style associated with concentrated savoury flavour and a satisfying texture.
It's a simple approach to a classic British product, allowing the flavour of the pork and cure to take centre stage.
Convenient Rindless Preparation
Supplied rindless, our back bacon is convenient to cook and serve.
Whether you're preparing breakfast for one or feeding the whole family, it's a wonderfully versatile ingredient to have on hand.
Perfect for Everyday Cooking
Although it's hard to beat a proper bacon sandwich, back bacon has plenty of other uses.
Its savoury flavour makes it a delicious addition to pasta, homemade pies, omelettes, breakfast baps and comforting family dishes.
