BENTONS HICKORY SMOKED BACON (EACH)

The smoky aroma that filled my kitchen while frying this was incredible, and the meat has a perfect balance of salt and hickory flavor. The slices aren't paper-thin, so you get a satisfying chew without being too fatty.

The curing process really comes through in every slice—it's not just salty, it has that authentic, old-fashioned hammy depth. I used it to season a pot of beans and the smoky richness was incredible.

The hickory smoke flavor is deep and authentic, exactly what I hoped for from a slow-cured Tennessee bacon. I've already gone through two packs this month just for weekend breakfasts.
