About Spek
Spek is a traditional cured pork product originating from Dutch and Northern European cuisine, often resembling thick-cut bacon. Made by salt-curing and sometimes smoking pork belly or back meat, spek is prized for its rich, savory flavor and versatility in cooking. It is commonly used as a flavor enhancer in soups, stews, and vegetable dishes or as a standalone ingredient in hearty breakfasts. Nutritionally, spek is high in fat, particularly saturated fat, which contributes to its creamy texture and deep taste but makes moderation key for heart health. It provides protein and small amounts of essential vitamins like B12 and iron. While not an everyday health food, spek’s bold flavor makes it an occasional indulgence in traditional recipes or modern adaptations alike.
