Why our dry cured bacon?

When it comes to bacon, there are countless options available at your local supermarket. But have you ever considered trying dry cured bacon? At our Telford store, we take pride in offering home-cured bacon made from quality pork and salts. In this blog post, we'll explore why dry cured bacon is worth a try and why our homemade version is a cut above the rest.

What is Dry Cured Bacon?

Dry cured bacon is a traditional method of preserving pork that involves rubbing the meat with a mixture of salts and allowing it to air-dry for an extended period. Unlike the more common wet-cured bacon, which is injected with brine, dry cured bacon relies solely on the curing salts to draw out moisture and enhance the flavor.

Why Choose Dry Cured Bacon?

1. Intense Flavor: Dry cured bacon offers a more concentrated and robust flavor compared to its wet-cured counterpart. The slow curing process allows the flavors to develop and intensify, resulting in a bacon that is rich, smoky, and full of depth.

2. Natural Ingredients: Our home-cured bacon is made using only quality pork and salts. We believe in using natural ingredients without any artificial additives or preservatives. You can taste the difference in every bite.

3. Artisanal Craftsmanship: Dry curing bacon is an art form that requires time, patience, and skill. Our expert butchers take pride in the traditional methods they use to create the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Each batch is carefully monitored and handcrafted with love.

4. Versatility: Dry cured bacon is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Its intense flavor can elevate any dish, from breakfast classics like eggs and pancakes to savory dinners like pasta carbonara or bacon-wrapped filet mignon. The possibilities are endless!
