British Bacon Connoisseurs Week

If you like bacon you must have noticed the varieties of bacon on offer. From cheap imports to organic free range slow cured.

Demand for cheap means the worst bacon is from intensively reared pigs that are then quick cured by pumping salty water in to the meat to also add weight. Demand for quality coupled with producers who care about their animals and the quality of their product means that there is some really great bacon available. And the best way to find out about it is ask.

Bacon Connoisseurs Week between the 22nd and 28th March is designed to help producers shout about their bacon and encourage you to ask questions about the bacon in the shop. So please use the BigBarn map to find your local bacon or browse the BigBarn MarketPlace to buy online.
