All
our unsmoked bacon & lardons are now made without using nitrites or
nitrates. We've worked hard over the past few years to find a way of curing our bacon to keep it food safe whilst also avoiding using nitrates or nitrite salts, traditionally used to make bacon. This is the result. Great tasting bacon cured with salt and flavoured with organic fruits and vegetable extracts; lemons and the fruit of the Mediterranean carob tree. Sliced thinly to allow it to crisp up perfectly. Great Taste Award Winner! Gold Star 2023. 'I’m normally a smoked bacon person, but so love the flavour of this, I don’t require it any other way! The rashers are fabulously thin, so you can get proper crispness, excellent for chopping up and crumbling over a salad, but obviously excellent left whole to be eaten as tradition dictates with fried eggs, too.' Nigella Lawson Our bacon is made from free range, outdoor bred pigs raised to the highest welfare standards - going above and beyond the usual organic standards. We do not routinely use any antibiotics and NEVER use critically endangered ones. The pigs are fed on a GM free diet and their food is supplemented with fresh waste fruit and vegetables from Abel and Cole adding colour and variety to their day. All our pigs are free to roam and root as pigs love to do. They live in warm pig arks with plenty of straw bedding and we even dig wallows for them to cool off in when the weather gets hot. If you like our unsmoked streaky bacon, make sure you try our unsmoked back bacon too or our sausages or pulled pork. |

A word from Helen
I love my pigs! I've farmed them since 1986 here at Eastbrook in Wiltshire, where I keep rare breed Saddleback sows. We work with 2 or 3 other farmers, and they share my philosophy - give livestock freedom, in almost every sense, and they deliver great tasting food. Read all about it in my book, Pig - Tales from an organic farm.
Look out for the orange pig and try the other products in our range. Come and see the pigs for yourself, eat and sleep in our glorious pub and hotel - Helen Browning's Royal Oak - in the middle of the farm.
You can also find out more about the farm, other delicious products, the pub, great offers and the latest news at: www.helenbrowningsorganic.co.uk

Lovely quality Organic food
People may say this is tasteless because they are used to other brands filling the bacon with chemicals & flavourings. Thank you for giving us ORGANIC bacon without any of the rubbish. :) We need more real food.
Tasteless
I purchased using a coupon code for £2 less & I still don't think was worth the price as they have absolutely no taste to them whatsoever and are impossible to pull away from one another to cook separately. Won't be purchasing again.
happy to have nitrate free option
This is perfectly nice and healthier options
Avoid
Dreadful Expensive and a complete waste of money Thin and very fatty DONT buy
Tasteless junk
Tasteless, wafer thin and full of water. Worst bacon I have ever had the misfortune to cook. Avoid at all costs.
Disgusting
Off 3 days before Use By date and was brown/purple in colour and smelled. Happened twice and I will claim a refund for this time.
