Aged Back Bacon Packs
Aged Back Bacon Packs
A classic back bacon taken from the loin of our Gloucester Old Spot pigs, these rashers remain happily different to what you find in the supermarket.
Naturally lean, traditionally cured and smoked, and aged to intensify the flavours. Our back bacon is available in two varieties:
Aged Smoked Back
A deep and balanced back bacon with smoke that doesn't overpower. Dry-cured with pepper, juniper and bay. Air-dried and smoked over oak and beech wood. Superbly flavoured, traditional bacon.
Aged Smoked Black Back
A dark, caramelised and complex bacon. Traditionally dry-cured with pepper, juniper and bay and marinated in thick black British molasses. Air-dried and smoked over oak and beech wood. Great Taste 2* Award Winner.
Our bacon is worlds apart from commercial rashers. As well as being dry aged for a deeper flavours, and smoked twice over real oak and beech woods, there are some key parts of our process that separate us out:
- It's the pork: we source our meat for bacon from the same superb supplier as we do for our charcuterie. We use responsibly farmed pedigree Gloucester Old Spot pork. With a fantastic depth of flavour to the fat, these beautiful animals are perfect for a premium product.
- Cured and crafted by hand: it's just what we do. We don't inject any water or brine into the product, opting instead to traditionally dry-cure our pork by hand before air drying it for weeks. When you cook this bacon you won’t be getting any grey, bubbling liquid from it, that's for sure.
