Première Moisson Naturel Bacon
What it is
This is a package of cured pork belly, a popular breakfast meat. It is typically smoked to develop its characteristic flavor and aroma. The bacon is cut into strips and is ready for cooking. It is a versatile ingredient used in many dishes beyond breakfast.
How people cook with it
This bacon is a staple for many home cooks. It can be prepared in a variety of ways to suit different culinary needs.
- Crispy breakfast side
- Sandwich topping
- Salad ingredient
- Flavor enhancer
To cook, place the bacon strips in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the desired crispness is achieved. As the fat renders, you can drain it off to prevent splattering. For a less messy method, bake the bacon on a rack set over a baking sheet in a preheated oven. The rendered fat can be saved for other cooking applications, adding a rich pork flavor to vegetables or gravies.
How it differs from similar foods
This bacon is described as 'naturel,' which often implies fewer added preservatives or a simpler curing process compared to some other commercially available bacons. The cut and thickness can also vary, affecting how it crisps and its overall texture when cooked.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused bacon tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume it within a few days for optimal freshness and quality. Ensure it is kept cold to maintain its safety.
