MEAT: Pasture-raised, antibiotic-free, certified-humane Berkshire pork
STYLE: Hickory smoked
CURE: Dry (Employs nothing but curing salts and dry spices rubbed into the meat, followed by smoking. The traditional way to make artisanal bacon.)
TASTE: The essence of hickory-smoked rusticity, at once nutty, woodsy, and sweet
USE: The balanced flavor makes a great team player, harmonizing with lettuce and tomato on good bread.
