Bacon - Pastured, Low Nitrate (500gm) FROZEN

Echo Valley Farm pigs are reared, and live on rotated pastures, experiencing all their natural piggy instincts. They are a large black and white cross. They are fed a diet of organic food scraps, sauerkraut and hops. 

No antibiotics or hormones are used at any stage.

Ham and bacon is traditionally wood smoked (that means each ham is cured in brine and smoked taking a total of 2-3 weeks). This longer process ensures maximum flavour and quality.

A small amount of nitrate is used in the brine (approximately 1 tablespoon per 80 litre barrel as opposed to the standard 3 cups), along with a mix of herbs and spices to add to and complement the smoky flavour. The nitrate produces the pink meat consumers have come to expect and preserves the ham for longer.
