Description
Our pasture-raised pork jowl is a special cut from the cheek of heritage hogs, known for its rich marbling and tender texture.
These hogs are raised in collaboration with The Bricker Organic Dairy Farm, an Amish-run, certified organic grass-fed dairy farm. This partnership ensures that our pork is not just delicious, but also ethically and sustainably sourced.
The hogs are exclusively fed GMO-free grains and spend their summers and falls roaming in pastures and wooded areas. This natural lifestyle contributes to the pork jowl’s distinctive sweet flavor and abundant, delicious fat. Unlike traditional bacon from pork belly, jowl bacon stands out with its fattier composition and a rich, almost smoky-sweet flavor profile.
We take pride in offering pork that’s pure and clean, avoiding any curing, smoking, or addition of flavorings and additives. This commitment to natural processing ensures that our pork jowl retains its authentic taste and nutritional value–and is free of nitrates.
While jowl bacon can be savored on its own, cooked to crispy perfection, it also works wonders in culinary creations, adding depth and richness to dishes. Whether used in place of bacon ends in your favorite recipes or simply enjoyed as a hearty breakfast side, our pork jowl is a versatile ingredient that brings a touch of traditional farming to your table.
