Customer Rating: Summary: Nobody Beats Nueske's Meat! Comment: Very good Applewood bacon--blows the cr*p @ the grocery away....

Nobody Beats Nueske's Meat! Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Bacon - Ever! Comment: This applewood smoked bacon is the best I have ever had, and I have tried a lot. This is a thick, meaty bacon with an awesome smoked flavor. At the same time, it is naturally low in sodium so you don't have that funny aftertaste in your mouth after eating the bacon. It is truly the best bacon you will ever eat and is worth every penny. Customer Rating: Summary: very good flavor, a little too fatty Comment: Great flavor, not too much shrinkage when we cooked it, but a little too much fat, especially for the price. We had to trim quite a bit. Customer Rating: Summary: three words: un believe able Comment: you'll eat this bacon and weep because you'll realize what you've been missing all these years ... nueske's bacon tastes as different (and as better) as good tuna sushi does to the canned stuff.
butt-expensive, yes, but worth every penny ... the hillcrest farm, where nueske's is made, is so hardcore that they consider the f.d.a. guidelines for bacon too lax, so they abide by their own standards.
makes a super-great present for any gourmand, gourmet, epicure, or carb-free diet head.
nueske's also makes a pepper bacon, and this one is *much* better. make sure to follow their cooking instructions to the letter (expect almost no shrinkage) and you will be set.
keep an eye on the nueske's web site, they sometimes have sales and discounts. Customer Rating: Summary: You will never want to eat any other bacon. Comment: I discovered Nueske's while working in a restaurant. We used the bacon in a spinach salad, but this bacon is so good recipes should be invented around it.
Just opening the cryopack causes the mouth to water. Perfectly salty, smoky and sweet and there is about 50% lean and both the fat and lean are beautiful.
Be warned: after eating Nueske's bacon everything you will find at the grocery store will be a bland disappointment.
