Quick Overview
5280Market and 5280Gourmet present Smoking Goose's Applewood smoked bacon Whole slabs of pasture-raised pork bellies are rubbed with a dry cure mixture of sea salt, brown sugar, maple sugar, then cured for days. Rather than using a fast-curing brine, which would make the bellies absorb water, the Smoking Goose prefers the more concentrated flavor of a dry cure. While it does take longer, a dry cure makes the bacon denser and keeps the flavor in the pork; not a watery brine. Plus, this means you get more bacon per slice, as the meat won't shrink up and lose water when cooking. Smoked over 100% Applewood, this bacon is perfect for Sunday morning, a spinach salad, or seasoning slow cooked meals.
