Broadbent has been dry-curing country ham, bacon, and sausage the slow way since 1909, working with heritage-breed pork — Berkshire and Red Wattle — known for the marbling and depth that mass-market pork simply can't match.

Lay strips in a cold cast-iron pan or on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bring the heat up slowly — the fat renders better and the meat stays tender. Save the rendered bacon fat; a tablespoon turns a pan of potatoes, eggs, or winter greens into something else entirely. And if you can spare a few slices of each, try a side-by-side tasting with the people you eat breakfast with. You'll be surprised how different six bacons can taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 packages total (2 each of 6 varieties)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 12 pounds of bacon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Broadbent's, Ossian Smoked Meats, Turchetti's Meats, and Old Major Meats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips frozen to your door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping on orders over $150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"American Ham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55564554338472,"sku":"BACON-SAMPLER","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3869\/5336\/files\/baconsampler1.png?v=1779994506","url":"https:\/\/americanham.com\/products\/bacon-sampler","provider":"American Ham","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
