Pure bacon flavour, no fuss. Our dry cured unsmoked bacon is hand-salted the traditional way—no added water—so it fries, not boils, and delivers clean, sweet pork character with a golden, crisp finish. Cut for everyday cooking and proper sarnies, it won’t leach liquid in the pan and it keeps its size. Perfect for breakfasts, BLTs and any recipe where you want bacon to taste like bacon.

FAQs
Why choose dry cured? No added water—rashers sear, don’t stew, and taste richer.
Back vs streaky? Back is leaner with a tender bite; streaky is fattier and extra crisp. This pack is unsmoked back bacon unless stated otherwise.
Salty? Well seasoned rather than harsh—pair with ripe tomatoes or a squeeze of lemon for balance.
Cook from frozen? Defrost first for even cooking and best texture.
