Product description

Cut from the loin of the pig, Swaledale has created an outstanding back bacon* that has pleasingly little shrinkage and a multitude of culinary uses. Our team of artisan butchers dry-cure the loins in our own in-house recipe, it involves the traditional salt and brown sugar cure for 5-days, but there is some Swaledale magic in there too. After this the loins are ready for a gentle smoking over beechwood, which gives the bacon its sweet and distinctive flavouR.

Chef George Ryle inspires:"Baked in the oven, or fried in a pan until the edges are crisping and turning golden brown, this bacon makes the ultimate sarnie. In a thickly cut white tin loaf, very lightly toasted, load up several rashers, some finely chopped gem lettuce mixed with mayonnaise, and slices of ripe tomato, seasoned with salt - the ultimate BLT. Or, rather, just a classic bacon and egg number, buttered bread, an egg over easy and a fair amount of brown sauce.It would be churlish to try and talk about dry cured, smoked loin bacon without discussing a full English breakfast. Two rashers of bacon, two sausages, two fried eggs, one thick disc of black pudding, hash brown and beans. That’s my line up!"

*Swaledale Butchers make 'proper' bacon, using age-old traditional methods and the same top quality, whole cuts of belly, back, loin and shoulder as we sell fresh. Native breeds have an exceptional depth-of-flavour, the Tamworth pig is prized for its superb bacon.
