Our Customer Questions
Is your bacon smoked?
No, this is traditionally cured unsmoked bacon, allowing the natural flavour of the pasture-raised pork to take centre stage.
Is your bacon nitrate free?
Yes. Our bacon is cured without added nitrates or nitrites. Many conventional cured meats contain these preservatives to extend shelf life and enhance colour, however excessive nitrate consumption has been linked to potential negative health effects. We prefer a slower, more traditional approach that keeps the ingredient list cleaner and the flavour more natural.
How are the pigs raised?
Our pigs are raised outdoors on pasture, with space to roam, forage, and behave naturally. A varied outdoor diet and slower growth rate contribute to richer flavour, better texture, and beautifully balanced fat.
What makes pastured pork different?
Pasture-raised pork tends to develop deeper flavour, darker meat, and more complex fat due to the animal’s natural movement, forage, and slower upbringing. The difference is noticeable both in the pan and on the plate.
