Not all bacon is created equal!
Helen Browning takes pork from her Organic Saddleback pigs and makes a traditional UNSMOKED BACK BACON cured without the use of NITRATES or NITRITES, only salt and flavoured with organic fruit and vegetable extracts, lemons and the fruit of the Mediterranean carob tree.
Bacon has traditionally been cured with added nitrates and nitrite salts to keep it safe, which have been the subject of health concerns in recent years. Helen Browning has been keen to recreate her award-winning bacon without using these additives, while retaining organic integrity and even improving the natural rich, robust pork flavour.
- No added water or phosphates, so you get real bacon that does not produce white froth when cooked.
- Helen Browning’s saddleback pigs enjoy a natural diet, free from chemicals, antibiotics or GM feed.
- They spend their days free range outdoors in family groups on organic pasture and are certified 100% organic by the Soil Association.
- A pig’s diet is an important component of bacon quality and flavour. Our organic pigs thrive in a slow-growing, pasture-raised system forageing on herb-rich grass, supplemented with simple cereals and with surplus organic fruit and vegetables for extra variety.
- If you’re looking to enjoy a delicious and healthier version of a breakfast staple, nitrate-free bacon is definitely worth giving a try!
Bring to room temperature. Grill or fry for 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally. Ensure bacon is piping hot before serving.
