bacon of the month club round 2: Loveless Cafe smoked bacon
Main site
I could smell it through the very well packaged box. It was uber smoked. Grabbed the pack and looked at it and was overcome by smoke aroma. It seeped through vacuum seal and impregnated my fingers with smoke smell. Dry cured with salt, brown sugar, and sodium nitrate and apparently uber smoked it was a beautiful looking package.
I opened it and my eyes started to burn from the smoky power. It was a bit fatty and greasy as hell. Made up 4 strips on med low and the whole house was filled with the smell. I was surprised by the shrinkage which I attribute to the high percentage of fat. The first bite knocked me on my ass. It is so smoky, oh man. It had a sweet aftertaste, but the smoke is the driving flavor and overpowers everything. I bet it would be too much for most, but I absolutely loved it.
So how do you really feel about it?
