6 Delicious Wild Boar Bacon Recipes To Make At Home

Out of all of the top quality wild boar meat cuts we offer at Beck & Bulow, there’s one that really stands out as being by far the most popular. We constantly sell out of it at farmers markets as well as online and can hardly keep it in stock for the massive demand that exists for this delectable and versatile item.

Bacon has long been a mainstay of the American diet, and for many the discovery of our wild boar bacon is a complete revelation when it comes to this iconic cut of meat. Superior to domestic pork bacon in every way, many are thrilled to be able to include this flavorful meat in their diet where they wouldn’t typically consume farmed pork for health, environmental or ethical reasons.

Boar bacon is incredibly flavorful. Because these animals roam wild and free to forage, their natural diet consists of a variety of nuts, fruits, roots and tubers. Compared to the flavor of grain-fed domestic pork, there’s no comparison. Our boar bacon has rich and multidimensional flavor that must be experienced to be believed.

Because wild boar is naturally leaner, it’s less fatty than pork bacon - but still fatty enough that it’s incredibly satisfying - and much healthier. You don’t have to sacrifice your health and well-being to eat delicious food. In fact, we wholeheartedly believe that the most truly satisfying foods often provide the most incredible health benefits.
