Since 1828, the Woodall family has remained steadfast in their belief that the finest bacon must be air dried, because time equals taste. Their passion, knowledge, and expertise have been passed down through the generations to Colin Woodall, an eighth generation master curer. With this Handcrafted Signature Selection, Tesco's master curer, Colin, brings together the rich succulence of our speciality Duroc breed pork, a signature cure with Cornish Sea Salt, known for its subtle sweetness, and an extended 19 day maturation and air drying process to curate an artisanal bacon with an unrivalled depth of flavour and succulence, unique to Tesco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8TH GENERATION MASTER CURER\u003c\/strong\u003e Our British outdoor bred pigs are selected for their superior succulence and flavour.

You can check this by sprinkling a few drops of water - if the water dances around, the pan is ready!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips for cooking the perfect bacon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a small amount of oil to the already heated frying pan and swirl it around the pan to add a thin coating of oil all over the frying pan. Carefully lay out the bacon rashers into the hot pan, placing away from you. To get the best sear, make sure that the bacon rashers are not touching each other and have full contact with the frying pan. Once laid try not to move the bacon for at least 2 minutes as this will help the fat render evenly and help the bacon go crispy. Turn the bacon rashers after 2 minutes and leave the bacon to get crispy on the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate once cooked and crispy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing touches for the perfect bacon sandwich\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are making a sandwich, keep the pan on the heat after taking out the bacon and toast the bread in the residual bacon fat until golden brown for an extra meaty boost to your sandwich.
