Our Pork Cottage Bacon (Salt Cured, Sugar Free) is a leaner, round-cut bacon made from the shoulder of the hog rather than the belly. It has the same clean, salt-cured flavor you love with less fat and a firmer texture that holds up beautifully in sandwiches, on burgers, or anywhere you want the flavor of bacon without the curl. No sugar, no nitrates, just pasture raised pork and salt.
Our hogs are raised on chemical free pastures and woods where they can root, roam, and forage freely. They are fed a corn, soy, and flax free non-GMO diet and raised with no antibiotics, no added hormones, and no vaccines. Shoulder bacon from a clean-raised hog is a completely different experience from anything you will find at the grocery store.
Cooking Tip: Pan fry over medium heat until the edges are lightly crisp, or lay flat on a baking sheet and roast at 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes. Because it comes from the shoulder, the slices lay flat and brown evenly. Perfect for breakfast sandwiches, BLTs, burger toppings, pizza, wrapped around asparagus or dates, or chopped into pasta dishes and salads for a savory punch.
If you have never had cottage bacon, it is one of those things that quickly becomes a staple. The leaner profile and clean salt cure make it incredibly versatile, and knowing exactly how the animal was raised makes every bite better.
