MONTEREY, Calif. — Bacon is a sacred institution, and each year the average American eats nearly 18 pounds of the delectable meat. But much of the bacon we consume is overly fatty, injected with phosphates and water, and mass-produced by large corporations that ignore sustainable practices.
As one of California's top culinary minds, Chef Tony Baker of Montrio Bistro in Monterey, Calif. leads the way in sourcing and serving the finest quality, delicious, responsibly sourced ingredients.
And Baker's Bacon is no exception. Now Chef Baker has finally realized his dream of providing Americans with small-batch, artisanal, dry-cured, sustainably sourced bacon made in the English style.
Baker's flagship bacon is his "Back" bacon while traditional American-style bacon comes from the underbelly of the pig, creating meat streaked with fat. Baker's English-style bacon is derived from the lean back of the pig — a cut above! — cured with a nice balance of sweetness to salt, and a smoky, complex, ham-like flavor.
Sourced from sustainable, naturally raised hogs, Baker's Back Bacon is hand-rubbed with a blend of sugars, kosher salt and a secret concoction of spices. Next, it's slowly smoked in a 50+ year-old smokehouse with real apple wood.
"I came up with this bacon out of need, the market is saturated with mass produced watery bacon, I wanted a bacon for my restaurant that met my quality expectations without breaking the bank" said Baker, known for his fresh, seasonal menus with an eye toward sustainability. "It takes me back to my English roots. It really doesn't get any better than this!"
Baker's Bacon is available in time for the holiday season and is the perfect gift for the foodies! Add it to Thanksgiving recipes or conveniently send it to family and friends as gifts. The high-quality, artisan bacon is made in the USA but inspired by a centuries' old method and perfected by a chef's personal demand for quality and sustainability, Baker's Bacon is truly a cut above ordinary bacon.
