Hickory Smoked Jowl Bacon (Simple Ingredient)

Hickory Smoked Jowl Bacon

If you love the rich, crispy edges of a great piece of bacon, Jowl Bacon deserves a place in your skillet. Cut from the jowl rather than the belly, it's exceptionally rich, beautifully fatty and packed with deep pork flavor.

Our bacon-style version is made with just pork, sea salt and honey, then hickory smoked for a bold, savory flavor. Slice it and crisp it in a skillet just like traditional bacon, or dice it and use it to add incredible richness to your favorite dishes.

What Is Jowl Bacon?

Jowl Bacon comes from the cheek and jowl area of the pig rather than the belly. It has a naturally rich balance of meat and fat that becomes beautifully crisp and flavorful when cooked.

We also make our Guanciale from pork jowl, but the two products are quite different. This version is prepared and hickory smoked as bacon, while our Guanciale is seasoned in the traditional Italian style for dishes like carbonara and amatriciana.

Just Three Simple Ingredients

Our Jowl Bacon is made with just pork, sea salt and honey. That's it. The straightforward recipe lets the rich flavor of the heritage pork and hickory smoke take center stage.

Rich, Crispy & Incredibly Versatile

Slice it and cook it in a skillet until browned and crisp for breakfast, tuck it into a sandwich, or use it anywhere you'd normally reach for bacon.

It's also excellent diced and slowly browned so the flavorful fat renders into the pan. Add it to beans, greens, potatoes, soups, vegetables or other slow-cooked dishes for an extra layer of rich pork flavor.

Don't Waste the Rendered Fat

One of the bonuses of cooking Jowl Bacon is the flavorful fat left behind. Save it in the refrigerator and use it for frying eggs, roasting potatoes, sautéing vegetables or anywhere a little bacon flavor would be welcome.

Raised Differently

Our heritage breed pigs spend their lives outside in our fields and woods, where they're free to root, forage, explore and wallow.

They naturally forage on grasses, clover, roots, berries, nuts and whatever else they find throughout the seasons. Alongside what they forage, they're supplemented with a nutritionally balanced organic feed made without corn or soy.

We raise them slowly, give them plenty of space, and never use antibiotics, hormones or vaccines.
