Our own brand of delicious back bacon - one pound package

In Scotland, they serve bacon rolls for breakfast. The rolls are soft and fresh, the butter is sweet without salt, and the bacon is 'proper bacon.' The lean cut of bacon comes from the loin or back - not the belly. We now have our own brand of Scottish style bacon, made in small batches exactly the way you want it. Packed in one pound vacuum packs, each holding 8-9 thick slices. Grill it, fry it in a non-stick pan, turning once. Perfect for eggs benedict, lovely rolled and baked with a chicken breast, and perfect on a soft breakfast roll all by itself. Far less fat than regular belly bacon, so clean-up is easy and the taste fantastic!

Sliced Pork Loin cured with up to 13% solution of Water,(Cured with Water, Salt, Brown Sugar, Sodium Nitrate). Keep refrigerated or frozen, cook thoroughly. Pork is a Product of Canada.

Back Bacon review

Jun 7, 2013

I am British and moved to America 6 years ago for work. Whilst being able to source many foods from home locally, British style bacon was one of the things I really missed. I was a little apprehensive ordering the bacon due to not knowing whether the cure used would be authentic to the type of bacon we can buy in the UK. I should not have worried. Both the cut and cure were spot on and frying a few rashers and making a bacon sandwich with a white flour bun tasted just like it should! A truly authentic product, thank you and very well done.

Owner Response: You are very welcome! We hope to serve you again soon. Anne Robinson, Founder

The USA belly cut style bacon is too fatty for my liking. The back bacon from Scottish Gourmet is just like you get in Scotland. Tasty and only a fraction of the fat.

This makes US bacon blush with shame! Reminds me of the gammon rashes I used to get in UK and Europe.

Linda

real British style bacon

Apr 13, 2016

This is the best British style bacon that you can buy in the US. It is not over salted with curing salt, the fat is minimal but enough to provide the flavor profile and it makes the best bacon sandwich if you add a little brown (HP) sauce.

Salim Suleman

Great bacon

Aug 28, 2016

If you love british bacon, this is the one to order. Flavorful with little fat, it is great for breakfast with eggs or beans. We can't find this quality anywhere else so it is on our repeat order list.

Love Love my first shipment of bacon and sausages! I only placed a small order initially to try it out as I was concerned if the items would reach me in good condition here in Vegas especially with the heat, but I needn't of worried everything arrived beautiful packed and still super cold!! Eating a lovely delicious bacon breakfast this morning! P.s these rashers are superior quality cut on the thicker side and cook up with very little shrinkage.. Just perfect!

Breakfast Treat!

I don't eat bacon often, but when I do I now prefer this Back Bacon Scottish Style - wonderful with eggs, pancakes, waffles, apple sauce and so much more. Easy to cook - we buy extra and divide it into smaller amounts, then freeze for use at a later date.

Louise A.

Excellent!

Jan 13, 2017

Reminds me of my wonderful visit to Scotland. I have been trying to find this ever since! It's delicious! Now that I have found the source I will keep ordering. My husband and I love it! Thank you!

British/Scottish Bacon

Mar 4, 2017

This bacon is great. It is just like the bacon I've had in London and around England. I actually had some friends visiting from London when my order arrived and they agreed that it was just like they would have at home. I would purchase this all the time if it were not so expensive.

Michael Romagnoli

At last - real bacon

Mar 9, 2017

I thought I'd never again taste real Scottish style bacon. This isn't the overpriced slabs of fat which passes for bacon in the US. (which we call streaky bacon in the UK). This product is excellent. Definitely 5 stars.

Tom Barclay

Delicious, but

Mar 20, 2017

Great taste, I wish there bacon without the sodium nitrates. I would give it 5 starts if you had a nitrate free brand.

Owner Response: I wish I could offer a nitrate free brand too! Cured pork sold into interstate commerce must have a preservative, according to the USDA! And since we ship all over America, we have to have some preservative. I hate that white stuff bubbling out when you cook it, but that is what we are required to have. Perhaps we can find a smoked back bacon as that would not require the nitrates.

Back Bacon Sodium Nitrates - Yuckey White Suff

Dec 5, 2017

Try Microwaving the bacon on low (experiment) between paper towels for a minute or two (again experiment). The nitrates should leak out to the paper towels without cooking the bacon Again, experiment - no two microwaves are equal). I have been pleased with my results.. Nice crispy fried back bacon. Good Luck and enjoy the grat Scottish bacon.

Owner Response: Great suggestion - USDA rules require that yucky white stuff on processed pork products. Anne

Joe Rooney

authentic Scottish bacon

Jan 28, 2018

I had about given up on being able to find authentic Scottish bacon. I have paid dearly for it in the past only to be disappointed. This bacon , however, tastes exactly like home..just as if my old nanny had cooked it and sat it down in front of me. It is tasty and authentic. I am so happy to have found the Scottish Gourmet. I hope they never stop offering this wonderful bacon.

Hazel Harrison

You've nailed it

Feb 19, 2018

For 20 years now, we have visited the United Kingdom. Each time, we can't seem to get enough of the good back bacon served at breakfast. I've tried a few other retailers in the US but none have duplicated the famous taste...until now. You have nailed it: the best back bacon this side of the British Isles. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes only a proper British fried breakfast will do, but what about proper back bacon? Well, you can find it here!

Steve Gilman

Good Quality

Mar 4, 2019

Best bacon you will get in America. American bacon just has so much fat in it, after eating the British cut you won't eat anything else. Worth the extra cost.

Terrific Back Bacon

Feb 21, 2020

Went to the first Scottish Festival WNC Ag Center. It was wonderful time, hope they plan on keeping this event. We had never had back bacon before so we thought we would try it. Anne, from Scottish Gourmet USA was there, and had my order. We cooked the back bacon and it is delicious! I will never have U.S. bacon again. Thanks Anne for the delivery and for your company. Look forward to seeing you next year.

memories

Apr 5, 2020

When I left England in 1956 the first thing I missed was English/Scottish bacon. I got used to American bacon and grew to love it. But this "back" bacon as we called it, is a real treat and just as I remembered it. I am glad that some fat was left on otherwise it can get a bit dry.

Several times a year, we order Scottish bacon as we love it, and it brings back many happy memories of trips to Scotland. It is soooo good, and several of our friends we have shared it with are now hooked as well. Highly recommended!

Excellent Bacon

Aug 8, 2020

Brit living in the States. Order arrived yesterday, couldn't wait to try it, and wasn't disappointed. Rashers are cut thick, right amount of fat, and looks the part. Some of the best tasting bacon I've had anywhere. Had a proper full English for the first time with the breakfast sausage and black pudding, both of which are just as good. Five stars, can't fault anything I've ordered to date.

A Slice of Scotland

Feb 20, 2021

It's funny that this request for a review should arrive today. In May 2019, my bride Pat and I went to Scotland on a tour. We are breakfast people, so we fell hard for Scottish breakfasts. I ordered w parcel of Socttish breakfast foods to serve to Pat as a Valentine's Day gift. Bad weather delayed the arrival of my order, so we only had our Scottish breakfast today! The bacon was just as delicious when served here in Indiana as it was in Glasgow or Edinburgh! We'll be ordering again!

Scottish Bacon

Mar 30, 2021

It was good, it taste similar to Canadian bacon

Owner Response: Just to let you know, Canadian bacon is a sugar cured ham - comes from a different part of the pig! Back bacon, comes from the back - the tenderloin. Ham comes from the leg! The less a muscle moves, the more tender the meat - the back of a pig barely moves, but the leg moves a lot. So there is a big difference in the 'flesh' itself, then there is the flavor added by the sugar cure in Canadian Bacon.

Better Than Ever

It has been a while since I ordered your products (due to a local store opening nearby, but subsequently closing due to Covid issue customer loss). But ALL you're current products are really better than ever in taste and packaging and, therefore, overall quality. They are definitely worth the 2-day air shipping charges.
