Dry Cured Collar Bacon

This is cut from the shoulder and has more flavour due to the darker meat and the marbling. It’s not a cut you will easily find anywhere else and as such may be unfamiliar but once you have tried it you will find it’s possibly the tastiest bacon you’ve ever had.

Selection choice

The best bacon for sandwiches, paninis, pasta dishes. Quick to prepare as it is rindless.
