This is a traditional, old-fashioned style bacon that keeps the pork skin intact for added texture and flavor. Unlike most modern bacon, where the rind is removed before smoking, this version delivers a distinctive combination of crispy, crunchy, and chewy bites that appeal to those who prefer a more rustic preparation.
Rich and savory with a deep smoked flavor, the bacon cooks up with a satisfying contrast in texture. Fry it as-is for a mix of crisp and tender pieces, or score the rind before cooking to help it render more evenly and achieve a consistent crunch throughout. It’s especially popular in Southern-style cooking, where it can be served alongside breakfast, used in hearty dishes, or even deep-fried for extra crispness.
Stripling’s has been a staple of Southern food culture for decades, rooted in a family tradition that began in Georgia in the 1960s. What started as a small butcher shop known as the “Sausage Kitchen” has grown into a beloved destination for authentic Southern meats and specialties. Still family-owned, Stripling’s continues to produce its products with a focus on quality, heritage, and time-honored techniques.
