Stemple Creek Ranch — Sugar-Free Smoked Uncured Bacon (10 oz)

Real smoked bacon with zero sugar in the cure. Just pork, salt, spice and smoke.

Most bacon, even the "natural" kind, is cured with brown sugar, maple or cane sugar. Stemple Creek leaves it out entirely, so you get the clean, salty, smoky flavor of the pork itself and it crisps up without the sticky burn. It is uncured in the legal sense, meaning no synthetic nitrates or nitrites added, and it comes from pasture-raised hogs raised to California Prop 12 standards.

Who this is for

• Keto, carnivore and low-carb kitchens that read every label
• Anyone cutting added sugar who still wants Saturday bacon
• Cooks who save the drippings: this fat is worth keeping
• Families who want to know exactly where their pork came from

How to use

Thaw in the fridge overnight. Lay strips in a cold pan and cook over medium heat, turning once, until crisp. Or bake on a rack at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes. Pour off and save the fat for eggs and vegetables. 10 oz package, sold frozen.

From Stemple Creek Ranch in Tomales, California, where the Poncia family has raised livestock on the same Marin County land for four generations, regeneratively and mostly certified organic.
