Old Major Traditional Smoked Bacon

Small-batch. Thick-cut. Hardwood smoked. This is how bacon is meant to be.

Old Major’s Traditional Smoked Bacon is crafted from heritage-breed pork bellies that are hand-trimmed, dry-rubbed with a proprietary blend of seasonings, and smoked low and slow over real hickory and cherry wood. The result? A deeply flavorful bacon that’s smoky, savory, and subtly sweet—with just enough fat to crisp up beautifully in a hot skillet.

Unlike mass-produced strips, this bacon is made in small batches by skilled butchers who know that great flavor takes time. Every step, from sourcing to smoking, is done with intention. No artificial cures, no water injections—just real, honest bacon with real presence.

It’s ideal for breakfast, absolutely unfair on burgers, and unforgettable when wrapped around anything headed for the grill. The kind of bacon that makes other bacon nervous.

FAQ

How should I cook it?
Thick-cut bacon likes a slower start: medium-low heat in a skillet, turning once, or a sheet pan at 400°F for 18–22 minutes. Cook thoroughly before serving.

How is it different from grocery store bacon?
No water pumped in, so it doesn't shrink and spit the way supermarket bacon does, and the smoke is from real hickory and cherry wood rather than liquid smoke.

How should I store it?
It arrives frozen. Keep frozen for up to a year, or thaw in the refrigerator and use within a week of opening.

I hate to give tjis low rating but the customer service is terrible or nonexistent. There is no customer service number and no one responds to emails. My order came 3 days late and everything was spoiled and thawed. A tital waste of $250. Thanks nit no thanks to ever purchasing again.

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

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.

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 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.
