Hot Smoked Bacon

Further Information and Serving Suggestions

Our Hot Smoked Bacon is a treat for those who love a hearty, smoky flavour in their dishes. Each slice is cured with a careful blend of salts and sugars, then hot-smoked over selected woods to infuse it with a robust smoky aroma that penetrates deeply into the meat.

Our process not only enhances the flavour but also tenderises the bacon, making it exceptionally moist and rich.

The hot smoking technique sets this bacon apart, providing a stronger, more pronounced taste compared to traditional cold-smoked bacon. With the added sweetness of this classic American style, it’s perfect for adding a smoky depth to any dish, from breakfast plates to sophisticated culinary creations.

The substantial smoky flavour complements the natural savoriness of the pork, making it a versatile choice for enhancing the taste profiles of various recipes.

Serving Suggestions

Candied Bacon

Simply coat each rasher in brown sugar (raw cane is best) or brush on maple syrup. Then place in the oven. Turn the oven to 180C and check the bacon in 15 minutes. Take it out when you like the look of it!

Burgers

Cook bacon, put in burger. Yum!

Crisp Bacon Truffles

“What!?” you cry! Sure, just give it a go. Cook the bacon as for “Candied Bacon” above. Now “bain marie” (aka “double boiler) your chocolate (this is the process where we place a metal container over a steaming pan (you’ll need decent oven gloves for this)) to melt it without burning (chocolate burns easily) then mix the cooling chocolate with melted butter and cream. Stir in the bacon, chill then form into balls.
