Most bacon today is brine injected producing a rapid cure where a lot of moisture is retained and this is evident during cooking, with our nitrate free home cure we use sea salt and molasses to draw the moisture for up to 2 weeks, we then wash and hang our chosen cut to dry for a further 10 days, this process gives us a stunning dry cured bacon which is how bacon should taste.

Taken from our herd of rare breed Oxford Sandy and Black pigs, outdoor reared and free to roam our extensive outdoor pig pens our pigs can explore natural behaviour whilst foraging for goodies in the ground, this enhances the flavour of our pork and ultimately our Nitrate Free Traditional Home Dry Cured Back Bacon.

Please be aware that due to our rare-breed oxford sandy & black pigs, there may be small black hairs on our bacon, as it is impossible to remove these hairs without degrading the quality of the meat. This is very normal, and the hairs will disintegrate upon cooking.
