This isn't bacon for beginners. This is bacon for people who already know what they like.

Whole pork jowl, dry-rub cured under a heavy hand of cracked black peppercorns and coriander, then smoked low over applewood. It's a different cut than your standard belly bacon — leaner, denser, with a deeper, more savory chew — and the peppercorn-coriander crust gives every slice a sharp, spiced edge that belly bacon just can't match. Small-batch, hand-trimmed, and not for the faint of appetite.

Fry it low and slow to render the fat, then stack it high. This is the bacon built for a top-shelf JBLT — thick-cut jowl, a ripe tomato, crisp lettuce, and a good bun holding it all together. It also holds its own crumbled over eggs, folded into carbonara, or eaten straight off the skillet while nobody's looking.

Chef's Tip — The JBLT: Cook your jowl bacon low and slow so the fat renders all the way through and the edges go crisp. Layer it thick on toasted bread with tomato, lettuce, and a smear of good mayo. This cut can take the weight.

FAQ

What is jowl bacon?
Bacon cut from the pork cheek instead of the belly. It's the cut Italians call guanciale. Leaner, denser, and more savory than belly bacon, with fat that renders slowly and crisps beautifully.

How spicy is it?
Cracked black pepper and coriander on the crust. Sharp and aromatic, not hot.

How should I cook it?
Low and slow. Start in a cold skillet over medium-low heat and give the fat time to render all the way through before the edges crisp. It also works cut into lardons for carbonara or beans.

Does it need to be refrigerated?
Yes. It ships cold; refrigerate on arrival or freeze for up to a year.

Hickory Smoked Bacon (2 lb)

My wife likes to start her morning with 7 cups of coffee watching the sun rise peacefully over the horizon. Simultaneously, our young children run, scream, and throw toys into every direction, in every room they enter. The dog jumps around trying to get anyone's attention to get kick started with several cups of dried chicken and rice kibble.

My wife is seemingly unaware of the chaos spilling forward. A chaos that I'm trying to keep confined into our property so that an aloof neighbor doesn't get bitten by one of my feral children. She takes long mediated sips of coffee while butterflies and rainbows emerge in the morning dew.

The dog has meandered into the old folks next door's yard to do his business while I'm yelling at him from the window. Pleading for everyone to give me just a moment. My daughter begins beating up her older brother with various action figures, all the while, my oldest child hides away upstairs knocked out from an evening of texting and watching golf videos.

There's only one way to achieve the level of zen my wife achieves routinely. That's by loading 2.5lbs of Ossian Hickory Smoked Bacon into the convection oven. My secret weapon that will waft throughout our home and cause pure delight.

The dog runs back home suddenly able to hear again. My oldest emerges from his cave. The young children say they're sorry and hug one another.

My wife... floats 2 inches above the ground.. mostly because of the insane caffeine consumption.

The next 30 minutes is full of carnage as they dive into the planet's most delicious bacon. I've already eaten almost a pound before I told them it was cooled off, obviously.

During this time, I dislodge toys from the dry wall of our home. Clean up the mess in the neighbor's yard. Yell to my neighborhood to start their 30 minute timers before these pack of savages mount tricycles, balance bikes, and skateboards to take on the day.

But in that moment.. there is peace. Until the next morning Ossian Bacon... until the next one

Your bacon is exceptionally delicious

Hickory Smoked Bacon (2 lb)

Best bacon I’ve had in a long time. The ratio of fat to lean was perfect, the flavor was just right , an ideal balance of smoke, salt, and sugar. And it was the most economical premium bacon I’ve ordered from any source - I’ve paid 3 times that much for less quality. Will definitely order again.

Hickory Smoked Bacon (2 lb)

Best bacon I’ve had in decades regardless of price. It reminds me of the bacon my grandfather made from heritage pigs when I was a child. Thanks to Ossian for the quality and taste it available from other suppliers.

This is some of the best bacon I have ever had. I will definitely buy again.

Hickory Smoked Bacon (2 lb)

This is what bacon was created to be: thick, flavorful, smokey, and easy to cook up crisp or chewy to your preference. The price is comparable to "premium" grocery brands, but this Ossian bacon outshines them all.
