Make your own proper homemade bacon, and you'll never look at the supermarket stuff the same way again. Dry-cured at home, it's tastier, leaner and you control exactly what goes in.

The kit includes a precisely measured bacon cure plus a generous aromatic blend of juniper, fennel, black pepper, garlic and garden herbs to flavour your bacon beautifully.

Just add your own pork (belly for streaky, loin for back bacon), rub with the cure, wait a few days and slice. Full step-by-step instructions are included, and it's far easier than you'd think.

Hand-packed in Britain in eco-friendly packaging, the bacon making kit is a fantastic gift for foodies, home cooks and anyone who loves a proper bacon sarnie.

Frequently asked questions

What's included in the bacon making kit?
The dry cure and three seasoning blends, chilli & garlic, juniper & fennel and pancetta, plus full instructions. You add the pork belly.
Is curing salt necessary for bacon?
Yes. The cure is a traditional dry mix of salt and sugar with sodium nitrite (E250) and sodium nitrate (E251). The nitrites are what protect the meat while it cures, which is why they are included.
Is a smoker needed?
No. This is a dry cure that air-dries in the fridge, so there is no smoker and no special equipment. The whole process takes about a week.
How does the kit's cure differ from regular salt?
Ordinary salt seasons but will not safely cure. The kit's cure adds the nitrites that keep the meat safe as it cures, which table salt alone does not do.
What meat do I use?
Pork belly for streaky bacon, which cures fastest and most reliably. You can use pork loin with the skin removed for back bacon, with the same cure.
How thick should I slice it?
Thin, with a sharp knife, once the bacon has cured and firmed up. Cook it through before eating, as with any bacon.
Can I make bacon without nitrites?
We include them because they are the safest, most reliable way to cure bacon at home, so we would not recommend leaving them out.
