No-nitrate Cottage Bacon. 1lb packages.

Same great no-nitrate smoking, from the shoulder of the pig instead of the belly.

Looking for great tasting bacon that does not have nitrates of ANY KIND? Look no further. Most bacon out there contains either Sodium Nitrate or Celery Powder both of which contain sodium nitrate. Reber Rock Farm No-Nitrate Bacon is truly nitrate free: just salt and sugar plus a trip to the smoker. This means it does not contain any nitrates, synthetic or naturally occurring.

We always joke with our farmer friends, that if we could grow pigs that were only bacon we would still sell out of bacon! This best-selling cut of pork comes from the belly of the hog and is cured and smoked. This means the belly is rubbed with salt and sugar for flavor. Then it is smoked using hickory wood.

Preparation Tips

Pan-fry, broil, or bake this tasty pork for a crispy, savory bite. There are a dozen ways to get just the right taste, and it can be a touchy subject to tell someone how to cook their bacon...but if you were to peek into our kitchen we love an oven cooked slice of bacon. But the strips into a Pyrex baking dish, set oven to bake at 400 (if you have convection even better) and set timer for 10-20 minutes depending on convect, size of pan etc.
