Nueske's Canadian Bacon

Nueske’s Canadian Bacon is a premium, loin-cut pork product known for its exceptional leanness, tenderness, and signature applewood-smoked flavor. This 2.5-pound slab is carefully hand-trimmed to remove excess fat, resulting in a clean, meaty texture that delivers rich flavor without heaviness. Fully cooked and ready to use, it only needs gentle warming before serving.

Slowly smoked over glowing embers of sweet applewood, the bacon develops a deep, aromatic smokiness balanced by a subtle natural sweetness. The texture is firm yet tender, making it ideal for slicing thick as a centerpiece or thin for classic preparations like eggs Benedict, breakfast plates, or sandwiches.

Nueske’s heritage dates back to 1882, when the family brought traditional European smoking techniques to Wisconsin. In 1933, R.C. Nueske began selling his smoked meats during the Great Depression, building a reputation for quality that continues today. Still family-run, Nueske’s adheres to time-honored recipes, hand-blended spices, and slow smoking over applewood embers, ensuring the same depth of flavor and craftsmanship that have defined the brand for generations.
