Oak and Beech Smoked Back bacon c. 250g
--
From Sandridge Farm in Wiltshire. Fed on their own grain, together with yoghurt, beer and cider yeast that are milled at the farm, providing a well balanced diet for our pigs, free from artifical hormones, growth promoters and routine anti-biotics.
Using the Wiltshire Cure method of curing, developed by the Harris family of Calne in 1840's. Sides of pork are immersed in Brine (a salt and saltpetre solution containing useful salt tolerant bacteria) for 3 to 4 days, then stacked in a cool cellar for two weeks to mature. Following the Traditional Wiltshire method, we do not add any water to the bacon. We like to say that after Salt, Time is our most important ingredient.
Our Golden Rind Bacon is naturally smoked over oak and beech for two days, when you cook it, the kitchen will be filled with an appetising smoky aroma, the perfect wake-up call for slug-a-beds on a Sunday morning.
