Dear <<First Name>>

Drum roll, please... Ladies and Gentlemen, we are proud to bring you a brand spanking new product that we trust will have you salivating in sync with us here at HQ... Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together for our first...
DRY CURED, COLD SMOKED BACON made from Humane Choice Free Range certified, Mayfield Farm pork cured for us by Pialligo Estate (voted Australia’s Best Artisan Bacon Makers at Australian Bacon Week 2014).


Most cured pork is brined and hot smoked. Traditional dry cured products are packed in salt and herbs to draw out moisture and infuse flavour resulting in a denser, drier product. We sourced a baconer from the wonderful Mayfield Farm and the Pialligo crew cured and cold smoked it for up to 17 hours in their traditional smokehouse with a natural brick-kiln at Pialligo Farm outside Canberra. It’s delicous, even if we say so ourselves. Don't say we don't look after you.

PYRMONT MARKET THIS SATURDAY 6/9
Come rain or shine this Saturday morning, your trusty providore will be facing up at Pyrmont Market with a brace of spit-roasted pork shoulders served with Queen Boadicea's home made apple and sage sauce and succulent barbecued porchetta served with Mr Bone's home made salsa verde sauce. We'll also be carving a pastured pork, hot-smoked ham glazed with a mix of Malfroys Honey, Young Henrys Cider and Cornersmith mustard which you can eat off the board or in a roll or take home to scoff later.

If you don't feel like eating porchetta on the spot, you'll be able to buy one to take home to cook along with a serve of salsa verde. Last, but not least, as well as our usual offerings of sausages, rendered fats and porchetta, we'll have packs of our new dry-cured, cold smoked bacon.

Read past articles about our farms, products and plenty of soapbox ranting about issues like food labeling and transparency. A bit like this article in response to Meat Free Week.
