Canadian Bacon

In America, Canadian bacon refers to various forms of bacon and ham, but at Allen Brothers, we offer authentic Canadian bacon ready-to-serve for a hearty breakfast or even an afternoon snack. Often, you'll find ham cut in circles labeled Canadian bacon, but it doesn't have quite the same texture or flavor as the real thing. You'll notice the difference immediately upon trying our Canadian bacon.

Canadian bacon originates from the middle of a pork loin, which is found in the back. This makes it incredibly lean compared to strip bacon that is cut from the belly. You might compare the flavor to back bacon found in the United Kingdom, but ours is leaner, without the strip of fat commonly found in that variety. In fact, in Canada, Canadian bacon, as we call it in the United States, is simply referred to as back bacon.

Authentic Canadian Bacon Smoked Slowly over Applewood Embers for a Remarkable Flavor

After we carefully select the loin to use for our Canadian bacon, we slowly smoke it over applewood embers. This gives it a rich, smoky flavor, while sealing in natural juices. You'll find the flavor absolutely extraordinary no matter how you serve it--fried, baked, grilled, or straight from the package.

Fully cooked and unsliced, you can use our Canadian bacon in a number of delicious recipes, cut exactly to the thickness your desire. Perhaps the most popular dish is Eggs Benedict, which includes poached eggs, bacon, and hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. Don't be afraid to try our incredible bacon in other recipes as well. Besides, with the low splatter, even your kids can help you fry up some for a family treat.
