About Shoulder bacon

Shoulder bacon, also known as cottage bacon, is a flavorful cut derived from the meatier part of the pork shoulder. Unlike traditional belly bacon, it is leaner, offering less fat and more protein per serving, making it a slightly healthier alternative for those watching fat intake. Typically cured and smoked, shoulder bacon boasts a rich, savory taste that complements a variety of dishes across cuisines, from breakfast staples to salads and sandwiches. Popular in North American and British cooking, it can be enjoyed grilled, pan-fried, or baked. Nutritionally, shoulder bacon delivers key micronutrients like iron and vitamin B12, but moderation is key due to its sodium content from the curing process. For a balanced approach, pair it with fresh vegetables or whole grains. Ideal for those seeking a bacon-like flavor with a meatier texture, shoulder bacon brings both versatility and rich taste to the table.
