  • 18 country bacon

       Popular in the South, this style is typically heavily smoked, saltier and thickly sliced.

  • 19 dry cured bacon

       Dry cure is an old style method that uses salt, sugar, and smoke as the preservatives, and not nitrates. As a result, and because the bacon loses water in the dry curing process, it is much more concentrated and intensely flavored—saltier, smokier, and more “bacon-y.” It also doesn’t spatter and curl as much when cooked. The wet cure used commercially often has brine added to it to make it heavier.
