Signature Heritage-Breed Bacon Sampler – 3 Pack

Most Americans are surprised to learn that there are dozens of breeds of pigs, and that each breed has its own unique flavor. This package is an unprecedented opportunity to experience just how varied the taste of the same livestock can be from one cherished heritage breed to the next with bacon from three heritage breeds: Berkshire, Duroc, and Red Wattle!

Heritage pigs are renowned for their well marbled, flavorful bellies. When people think of bacon, this is it. Produced in a maple sugar cure, this bacon has become a fixture in many acclaimed restaurants across the country and is sure to become a fixture in your fridge.

Patrick Martins founded Heritage Foods in 2001 to preserve endangered species of livestock from extinction. These species were the foundation of our food supply for 5,000 years, yet they receive almost no attention. Today, Heritage Foods supports over fifty family farms that raise Heritage breeds – the very foundation of our agricultural history and gastronomic identity. These animals are raised humanely, outdoors, on pasture, using traditional farming techniques. The result is the world’s best-tasting, highest-quality meat – more marbled and boasting a far more profound taste and depth of flavor than what you’ll find at the supermarket. This is what meat used to taste like, and what it’s supposed to taste like, and with one bite you’ll understand the difference!
