Organic Nitrate-Free Bacon Lardons
The clever chef's secret ingredient
If you're looking for an easy way to get loads of flavour into your dishes with very little fuss, choose organic bacon lardons. 'Lardon' is basically just a fancy word for bacon bits. This might sound like a humble ingredient (and, yes, it actually is) but it delivers a huge whack of flavour to everything you add it to. We make our lardons from our organic nitrate free back bacon and organic nitrate free streaky bacon, combining the two to get the perfect balance of meaty-salty-fattiness. You can use them as a seasoning in stews, pep up brussel sprouts or make them that star of their own recipe. Either way, you'll be blown away by the extra flavour they bring.
The quality of our meat is reflective of our high-welfare and sustainability standards; our organic pigs are fed a healthy diet of grass, hay and concentrated food and are slow-grown to maturity, running, basking, and wallowing all year round. Living outdoors is obviously vital for the well-being of these intelligent creatures, but it’s also vital for the production of top-quality pork.

At The Organic Butchery we like food that tastes of its ingredients. That's why we make bacon the properly old-fashioned way with pork, salt and just a suggestion of brown sugar. Chemicals in the shape of preservatives, stabilizers and flavourings are not invited to this party. Why? Because we absolutely don't need them. The distinctive flavour of naturally made bacon comes as a result of the curing process. Natural sea salt (either as a dry cure or brine bath) draws moisture from the meat, intensifying the flavour as it does so. We love bacon that tastes of, well, bacon – not of chemicals – which is why we make it this way.

Sizzling up your lardons is the work of moments. No need to add any oil, the bacony bits will start to release their delicious fats as soon as they hit the hot pan. Add a handful of lardons into a slow-cooked pork casserole (we love ours made with cider and thyme) as an alternative to seasoning it with salt. You'll get a wonderful background flavour that really emphasises the porkiness of the dish. Lardons are also good friends with poultry. Use them in a chicken caesar salad instead of anchovies, or use them in an indulgent stuffing to serve with pheasant.
