Product Description

  • Unsmoked, dry cured rindless, thick cut 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. This 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

Preformed from different cuts of pork

2 stars

Decent bacon flavour, no added water and ideal back rasher appearance of a medallion surrounded by too much fat, so perfect as though manufactured. Last two packs looked like streaky and had been manufactured from at least two different cuts of pork which cooked differently.

Not impressed

1 stars

I have bought this bacon a few times and it has been very tasty and no white stuff coming out of it. The last time I bought it, it was very fatty and to be honest I was so annoyed about the amount of fat that I weighed it. After trimming most of the fat off I weighed it and was appalled that the fat weighed 87 grams. Just to put this into perspective the pack weighs 240 grams so a third of it was FAT. Not impressed.

I won't buy this again

1 stars

Really disappointed with this. It wasn't very thick, it gave off lots of water and didn't taste very nice, Nothing fine about it at all.

So salty

So salty, I can't eat it.

Cut the salt!

2 stars

It's everything I look for in a bacon - EXCEPT for the salt! Not only are we being urged to cut our salt intake but this level seems to be way beyond what might now be considered acceptable. It's not just that it is too much. It's overwhelming, adding nothing to the flavour whilst rendering the bacon barely edible. Such a shame. I was looking forward to that.
