I love this bacon! It's a different breed for sure. Place it in a cold frying pan, turn the heat up to high, and once it starts to sparkle or change, turn it down to medium. You can crisp this bacon right up as it cooks in its own glorious fat!
Crispy is the way I like my bacon. But, this bacon gets crispy like no other. Don't think of burned or charcoally, this bacon when cooked crisp doesn't crumble into little chards or lose its bacon'y flavor. Instead, it has crunch, a little chewiness on the edges, and it has got flavor. And what a flavor! You can taste what you smell when you are cooking it, and along with it comes a sweetness ... yes sweetness. It's like no other.
Master Butcher, Rick, brines the bellies in his secret salt bath, and then smokes it for days. Like his other bacons, and perhaps even less so, there really is no overpowering saltyness. I can eat a pound just standing at the stove!
Not only is this bacon wonderful to eat, but in the process cooking it, it produces about 1/3 of a cup of bacon drippings for two slices of bacon! So, if a tub of lard is too much (which I don't think it is ...) for you to deal with, this is the a sly way of getting some really nice oil to cook with. You can fry your eggs next, and then make baked beans!
"The bacon was delicious - especially the fat!!! It was quite sweet - not very smoky, with a fantastic texture. and we thought it would be killer in a BLT! "
-- Tina - Food Editor
"(The bacon) arrived this morning (in time for breakfast!) so, of course,
I cooked some up immediately.
IT IS AMAZING, DELICIOUS, MOUTH-WATERINGLY GOOD.
It is not too salty, full of wonderful mangalitsa fat
(which I saved as it rendered from the cooking of the bacon),
and has a delightful mouth feel.
Even my wife commented on how noticeably better
it was than other bacon that we have had recently."
