FROM LORE TO LUXE

While the origins of salting pork dates back to Roman civilization, it is English history that is full of lore regarding the curing and/ or smoking of pork to create bacon. The popular saying "bringing home the bacon" dates back to the 12 the century to a church in Essex. Any married man that could swear that he did not have an argument with his wife for 1 year and 1 day would receive a very prestigious award - the side of bacon. Because of its versatility and succulent flavor, bacon's popularity has evolved from a sign of prestige to a valuable ingredient used in the finest dining rooms as well as the most humble kitchens. Bacon has even entered the luxe world of "couture chocolate" as a savory pairing used by esteemed chocalatiers.
