Sourcing

This Double Smoked Bacon is a classic American-style bacon made from premium pork bellies sourced from our trusted hog farming partners. It’s dry cured — meaning no added water — and hand-rubbed with a blend of salt, sugar, spices, and pink curing salt. The bacon is first smoked over applewood, then given a second round of smoke with maple wood. This two-step smoking process creates a deep, rich color and a bold, layered flavor. Carefully crafted, this bacon delivers just the right balance of savory saltiness, rich smokiness, and a hint of sweetness.
