5 Reasons Why Our Tender Belly Bacon is Superior to All the Rest

If some people had their way, bacon would be classified as a food group. However, although bacon is popular among food enthusiasts, its quality is inconsistent. The flavor and thickness can vary significantly between brands and types, greatly enhancing or detracting from a sandwich, burger, or salad.

With so much deviation, we ensure our dishes come with the cream of the crop (or the prime of the pork). There are several reasons why our Tender Belly gourmet bacon reigns supreme, including the following:

It’s Bacon Made from Responsibly Raised Pigs

Tender Belly bacon is made using responsibly raised pigs and the finest swine. These pigs are never given antibiotics, are 100% vegetarian-fed, and live crate-free.  

It’s Bacon With No Water Added

Adding water to bacon can help save money, but it sacrifices taste. Tender Belly bacon has no added water; instead, it’s bacon rubbed and soaked in freshly ground spices for days before being slow-smoked with real cherry wood. The result is a meatier, heartier slab with improved flavor and protein. 

It’s Bacon Without Fakeness or Falsities 

If you want fake bacon, try Bacos! Tender Belly bacon focuses on filtering out all the falsities; it contains no antibiotics, no MSG, no hormones, and no high-fructose corn syrup. While we won’t say that bacon belongs in a health food store, natural bacon is undoubtedly better for you than one packed with artificial enhancements.  

It’s Bacon Focused on Quality 

Tender Belly bacon is made with high-quality ingredients: fresh juniper berries, Vermont maple syrup, real chili flakes, and real hardwood smoke. You can taste the authenticity in every bite. 

It’s Bacon That’s Versatile and Menu-Friendly

Tender Belly bacon is one of our most versatile ingredients. Not only can it be found in obvious dishes (like BLTs and burgers), but it’s also a staple of our salads and fried chicken sandwiches. It’s even a topping we use on our fries. 

Whether bacon is a mainstay of your diet or a once-in-a-while indulgence, tender-belly bacon won’t “boar” your tastebuds; instead, it’ll leave you returning for more.
