Good ol’ breakfast bacon rashers… wakey wakey taste buds!

This bacon is the best of both worlds – a nice lean meaty eye with a delightful crispity crunchity skirt of belly bacon. It’s the bacon we keep on hand in the fridge for a multitude of delicious applications.

How it’s made…

Cut from the loin with the belly attached, our Rindless Middle Bacon makes for delicious eating. It’s got all the elements you want in a great bacon – crunchy skirt, meaty centre, massive flavour. Plus we’ve trimmed the rind off so it’s ready for a multitude of applications.

We use a wet brine to cure – this creates delightfully tender bacon that will go crispy in all the right places. All our bacon is also naturally wood smoked… you know, by burning actual wood. No tricky flavours here.

Good for…

Cooking notes…

A pan is the best approach here… no matter the application. You’re aiming for a bit of colour in the centre and on the belly bits to render some of that fat and get nicely crisp.

As always, you want the pan hot enough for a few drops of cold water to dance on it… but not ripping hot. As you’re cooking it, the belly bit round the edge may curl up a wee bit – don’t panic – this is totally normal and will settle once you turn the bacon over. Don’t crowd the pan (you need airflow to crisp up those edges).
