The ultimate bacon guide with Farmfetch

At Farmfetch, we believe bacon is more than just a breakfast staple – it’s an experience. Whether you're a chef, a food connoisseur, or just someone who enjoys indulging in quality artisan products, bacon can be the star of any dish. From the classic crispy streak to unique variations like lamb bacon, our selection offers something for every palate. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the types of bacon we offer, from our maple wood bacon from Wales, which is fast becoming a favourite among our customers to a classic crispy bacon, perfect for your next full english. Below is a guide to our range of wonderful bacon from across the UK.

Maple Wood Bacon – Sweet and smoky 

If you’re after the best bacon with a balanced sweetness and smokiness, look no further than our maple wood bacon. Made from premium pork and cured over rich maple wood, it brings an indulgent sweetness that complements savoury dishes perfectly. Ideal for breakfast or to elevate your next sandwich, this is a must-try for those who appreciate nuanced flavours.

Streaky Bacon – The perfect crispy treat

For those who love their bacon crispy, streaky bacon is the go-to choice. Its high-fat content allows it to crisp up beautifully, making it a versatile addition to any meal. Whether as a topping on burgers or wrapped around your favourite vegetables, streaky bacon delivers that satisfying crunch. Perfect also for Christmas pigs in blankets.

Old-fashioned rind-on Middle Bacon – A classic choice

Bringing a touch of tradition to your table, old fashioned rind on middle bacon is for those who enjoy a bit of bite. The rind offers a chewy texture, making it a fantastic option for hearty breakfasts or in recipes where you want a richer, meatier taste.

Lamb Bacon – A Unique Twist

For something truly different, why not try our lamb bacon, perfect for those who prefer an alternative to pork. With its deep, slightly gamey flavour, it can add a new dimension to your cooking. Lamb bacon pairs excellently with Mediterranean dishes and salads, offering a bold yet balanced taste.

Dry Cured Back Bacon – Lean and Flavourful

For a leaner option without sacrificing flavour, back bacon is your best bet. Cut from the loin, it has less fat than streaky bacon but still delivers a robust taste. It's a popular choice for traditional British breakfasts, and when paired with eggs and toast, it makes for a wholesome, satisfying start to the day.

At Farmfetch, we take pride in sourcing our artisan bacon from some of the finest producers across the UK. Whether you’re after a classic cut or something more adventurous, you can explore our full range and enjoy hassle-free bacon delivery directly to your home.
