Rib Eye Bacon
We cut rib-eye bacon from the shoulder, giving you the best of back and streaky in one rasher, meaty with generous marbling. Each 200g pack serves two to four people and comes smoked or unsmoked. It crisps beautifully while retaining bite and depth, making it ideal for breakfast plates, bacon, lettuce, and tomato (BLTs) sandwiches, and generous brunch trays.

Back Bacon
Back bacon comes from the pork loin, creating a thicker, meatier rasher with classic bacon sarnie appeal. Supplied in 200g packs serving two to four, both smoked and unsmoked options give you dependable everyday performance. If you want to enjoy the rich, savoury flavour of bacon without the worry of added chemicals, this cut is perfect for a hearty breakfast, a tasty BLT, or as a tasty addition to your favourite dishes.

We prepare streaky bacon from the pork belly, where a higher fat-to-meat ratio delivers exceptional crispness. Each 200g pack serves two to four and is available smoked or unsmoked. Using naturally nitrate-free curing methods, we ensure each rasher is free from harmful additives while maintaining its rich, savoury flavour.

Clean Curing With Simple Ingredients
At The Organic Butchery, we proudly state our bacon is ‘nitrate-free’ because we believe in using only the best and the least number of ingredients necessary. We make our bacon from certified organic pork, salt, and demerara sugar. We also avoid artificial nitrates and unnecessary additives, keeping the ingredient list short, recognisable, and transparent.
Because we cure our bacon without using artificial nitrates, the end result is often more natural in appearance than the pink slabs you buy from the supermarket. We believe this is a hallmark of honest curing and artistry rather than a requirement of using nitrates. What we care about is the savory, well-balanced flavour, with a satisfying crunch when you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nitrate-Free Bacon?
Nitrate-free bacon refers to bacon cured without added artificial nitrates. We use simple ingredients such as salt and sugar to preserve and flavour the meat. If you’re looking for bacon bacon without nitrates, UK customers can trust, always review the ingredient list for clarity.
Is Nitrate-Free Bacon the Same as Nitrite Free Bacon?
Nitrate-free" and "nitrite-free" bacon are not necessarily the same, though both usually mean the bacon is cured using natural sources. The important point is that we don’t add artificial nitrates during curing. Ensure you check each product description and ingredient list before you buy.
Why Does Bacon Without Nitrates Look Less Pink?
Our nitrate-free bacon looks less vividly pink because it’s not treated with artificial curing agents that enhance colour. This natural appearance reflects traditional methods, which maintain the savoury flavour, and the cooking performance stays consistent.
What’s The Difference Between Gammon and Ham?
Gammon is a raw joint of meat that is cured but not cooked, while ham is cooked gammon. We label our products clearly so you can decide if you want to prepare a joint yourself or choose ready-to-slice ham for immediate serving.
