What it is
This is a savory snack made from cured pork belly that has been smoked and seasoned. It offers a chewy texture and a distinct smoky, sweet, and tangy flavor profile.

How people cook with it
This bacon jerky is a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into various dishes for added flavor.
- Snack on the go
- Add to charcuterie boards
- Crumble over salads
- Top baked potatoes
Open the package and enjoy the bacon jerky directly from the bag. It is ready to eat as a standalone snack. For a different culinary application, consider crumbling the jerky into smaller pieces. These pieces can then be sprinkled over a variety of dishes. Think about adding them to enhance the flavor of a green salad, as a topping for a loaded baked potato, or as an interesting addition to a cheese and charcuterie board. Its concentrated flavor makes it a good accent ingredient.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional bacon, this jerky is dried and preserved, resulting in a firmer, chewier texture. The bourbon barbecue seasoning provides a distinct sweet and smoky flavor that is not typically found in standard bacon. It is designed for longer shelf stability and portability.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining bacon jerky in an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness and texture. Proper storage will help prevent it from becoming stale or losing its flavor over time.
