Back bacon is a cut of bacon that includes the pork loin from the back of the pig. It is much leaner than side bacon, which is made only from the pork belly. Back bacon is derived from the same cut used for pork chops, offering a tender texture with a mild, smoky flavour. Often cured and smoked, it’s perfect for frying, grilling, or adding to sandwiches for a delicious and lean alternative to traditional bacon.
