Product Description

  • Unsmoked, dry cured rindless back bacon rashers.
  • Our Tesco Finest* dry cure bacon comes from British outdoor bred pigs, which give tasty, succulent pork. Our traditional dry cure was developed for us by experts who first began curing back in 1828. Nearly 200 years later, it’s still cured by hand following the same method to bring out the rich flavour before air drying for a meaty texture. Our Finest outdoor bred pork comes from producers inspected to RSPCA welfare standards by the RSPCA's independently certified farm assurance scheme.
  • UNSMOKED OUTDOOR BRED *Outdoor bred prime pork hand cured and air dried for 10 days for a full flavour.
  • Pack size: 240G

Very good quality & tasty

5 stars

Very good & tasty quality bacon. A it is dry cured there is much less fluid comes out and none of that horrible gunky white stuff as with other types. I now always buy dry cured as recommended when I was researching.

Excellent Bacon

5 stars

I buy four packs of this each week. My family love this bacon. It is dry-cured as it says on the pack. I cook this in my Optigrill and no crud, only a little bit of fat, comes out.

Poor quality

2 stars

I ordered this to make a carbonara. This is supposed to be dry cured and I had to drain white liquid out of the pan before I could continue with making the carbonara. It was also so thinly carved that it was transparent. I won’t be buying this again, very disappointed.

way too salty

2 stars

way too salty

I enjoyed it

5 stars

I found this bacon absolutely lovely. I cooked it on kitchen paper in the microwave and had it on toast with mushrooms. It tasted good not overly salty. My friend also enjoyed this product when I mentioned it to her in another part of the country she too was impressed. Neither of us fried it so can't comment on any white residue.

Disgusting

1 stars

As it was Tesco Finest I assumed it would be good quality but I shall not be buying it again. The pack was dated 27 January and I had it delivered only last week. I wondered about the rather strong smell as I opened it but put it down to being 'Drycure' which I had never tried before. The smell of it cooking was really unpleasant so I tried a piece -- the smell was there but absolutely no flavour and very rubbery.

Too salty

1 stars

Way too salty to the point where it’s unpleasant to eat

NOT DRY CURED. WHITE BITS LEFT IN FRYING PAN!!!

2 stars

I buy this “dry cured” bacon often. Sadly the last two packs have left that white, for want of a better word, scum, left in the frying pan that proper dry cured doesn’t. So obviously not dry cured!!
