Picnic Bacon

Add bold, smoky flavor to your meals with Jake’s Picnic Bacon — a leaner, shoulder-cut bacon made from cured pork shoulder. Unlike traditional belly bacon, this cut has a round shape and meatier texture, making it perfect for hearty sandwiches, salads, or a savory breakfast side. Naturally smoked and full of rich flavor, each slice delivers that signature Jake’s quality you can trust.

What does it mean when bacon is labeled “Uncured”?

When your bacon is labeled “Uncured”, it means no synthetic nitrates or nitrites are added during the curing process. Instead, it’s made with natural ingredients like cultured celery powder and sea salt. While it’s still cured, USDA labeling guidelines require the term “Uncured, No Nitrates or Nitrites Added” to distinguish it from conventionally cured bacon.

How to Cook Picnic Bacon:

Stovetop: Pan-fry over medium heat for crispy edges and tender centers.
Oven: Bake at 375°F for even cooking and less mess.
