Our Customer Questions
How does un-smoked back bacon differ from smoked?
Without smoking, this bacon offers a cleaner, lighter flavour profile that highlights the natural richness of the pork — ideal for recipes where you want the meat to enhance rather than dominate the dish.
What makes pastured pork different from regular pork?
Pastured pigs live outdoors, roaming freely and rooting in the soil — just as nature intended. This active lifestyle and diverse diet result in meat that’s richer in flavour, higher in nutrients, and more ethical compared to industrially raised pork.
Is pastured pork healthier than conventional pork?
Yes. Studies show pork from pasture-raised pigs has higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants, while also being lower in unhealthy fats often found in intensively farmed pork.
Is pastured pork more sustainable?
Absolutely. Pastured systems improve soil health, reduce chemical inputs, and support biodiversity. By choosing pastured pork, you’re backing farmers who put the land, the animals, and future generations first.
Is pastured pork suitable for curing or making charcuterie?
Yes. The depth of flavour and firm texture of pastured pork make it ideal for curing, smoking, and crafting charcuterie. From pancetta to prosciutto, its natural richness elevates traditional methods to produce exceptional results.
Why does pastured pork taste better?
Freedom to forage, a natural diet of roots, grasses, and acorns, and slower growth all contribute to deeper flavour and tenderness. Each cut carries a rustic authenticity you just won’t find in intensively farmed pork.
