Organic Unsmoked Back Bacon
For much more than a fry up
Cut from the back of the pork carcass, Coombe Farm Organic's unsmoked back bacon incorporates the eye meat of the loin and the marbled layers of the belly. Our butchers have expertly trimmed the fat so you're left with just enough to keep the meat beautifully moist, and for a bit of crackling crunch on top. Back bacon is a breakfast-time stalwart, whether you're going full-on English or enjoying it with plenty of ketchup and butter between doorstops of bread. But there are lots of other ways you can enjoy it, for any meal of the day.
- Delivered frozen
- 200g, Serves 2 - 4
If you love a rasher of bacon but want to keep the fat to a minimum, back bacon is a good choice. The loin meat is the leanest on the pig so is lower in calories than streaky. It's also a great way to get protein and a big punch of flavour into meals without needing to use a huge amount of meat. We cure our bacon with just four organic ingredients: sea salt, bay, juniper and black pepper. So it's chemical free and totally natural.
Ingredients: organic pork (99%), sea salt, organic raw cane sugar
- Supplied: Insulated box at -18°C
- Freezing: Will arrive frozen, use by best before date on packaging
- Defrosted: Store between 0 - 5°C and use within 2 - 3 days

Product FAQs

-
Freezing is the most natural way of preserving food. And as here at Coombe Farm Organic we believe in slow-grown, healthy food, a form of preservation that doesn’t need artificial additives gets a big tick from us.
We use blast freezing to preserve all of our meat products. It’s done at the point of butchery, to temperatures of -26°C. This locks in all the freshness, flavour and nutritional value and means you get the longest possible shelf life at home once you’ve defrosted it.
It also guarantees it will arrive with you in tiptop condition - confidently delivering fresh meat would be much more challenging.
-
All of our meat is butchered in our in-house butchery by our small team. This means we have full control of what is cut and also means that we can accommodate more requests from our customers.
You will find any product ingredients on the relevant product pages.

Bacon is an excellent partner for lots of different ingredients – some of them rather surprising. Use it wrapped around chicken, casserole it with rabbit or add it to a New England-style clam chowder. It brings flavour to simple lentil recipes and lends a contrasting texture to wilted greens or stir-fried sprouts. And when it's barbecue season, you can't go wrong with a generous heap of bacon on top of a freshly grilled steak burger. Just add a cold lager for good measure.

Like going back in time by over half a century. Taste buds were working overtime. Absolutely lip-smackingly gorgeous. Only problem was once eaten both of us wanted more as it was too delicious for words. Like going back in time by over half a century. Taste buds were working overtime.

Nitrate Bacon does have a slightly different flavour, I suppose I became accustomed to bowel cancer chemicals in my meat. But it tastes very good, I'm on my second batch now.

I'm so used to nitrite soaked bacon I forgot what bacon looks like! Put off by the colour of a pork chop (go figure!) at first the taste and quality of the bacon was exceptional. Quite expensive for me but definitely five stars. Would buy again in... I'm so used to nitrite soaked bacon I forgot what bacon looks like!

Saying no to nitrites is a bonus! The taste is excellent and because you know that it is organic save the bacon grease to cook with. Saying no to nitrites is a bonus! The taste is excellent and because you know that it is organic save the bacon grease to cook with.

Thick sliced bacon, no shrinkage whilst cooking and none of that white water! I do prefer smoked bacon but I don’t think it would then be organic? Tasted good, a little salty but I like that!

Food Quality matters, the food your food eats matters, fats MATTER!! Your bacon does have alot of fat on it, and at first this can look poorly cut but let me tell you all, when an animal has been fed a poor diet it stores toxins in its fat,... Food Quality matters, the food your food eats matters, fats MATTER!! Your bacon does have alot of fat on it, and at first this can look poorly cut but let me tell you all, when an animal has been fed a poor diet it stores toxins in its fat, however at Coombe the food your food eats is paid attention to. When animals eat the right foods their fat is so very nutritious and is just as if not more valuable than the meat/muscle. So give me my fatty bacon please. You ABSOLUTELY can taste the difference, and because the fat is thick you get 2 textures, the outer skin and then the highly nutritious layer between the skin and the meat >> this is where its at and thankyou Coombe for cutting your bacon in a way to provide me with this, it makes me happy and it makes me feel good. Finally thankyou for not curing with nitrates.
