Applewood Bacon

Jake's Country Meats Applewood Bacon - slightly sweet and smokey, a perfect balance of flavors great for your next meal made exclusively from our pasture-raised pork belly. 

What does it signify when your bacon is labeled as "Uncured"?
"Uncured" bacon means that it does not include synthetic nitrates or nitrites in its preparation. Instead, it utilizes natural ingredients like cultured celery powder and sea salt during the curing process. Though it still undergoes a curing process, the USDA mandates that bacon without nitrate and nitrite additives be labeled as "Uncured Bacon, No Nitrates or Nitrites Added."

Cooking Suggestions:

• Stovetop: Pan-fry for crispy perfection.
• Oven: Bake at 400°F (200°C) for a hands-off approach.
