The hand crafted and natural wood smoked scent of this organic, sugar-free, paleo friendly bacon is more boldly flavorful than one might expect. As one of the America's few remaining, family-owned smokehouses, North Country's mission is to handcraft premium, artisanal smoked meats with relentless flavor focus, exceptional animal care standards, and respect for the land. We recommend laying the bacon flat on a flat cookie sheet (with ridges to catch the grease) and cooking at 375 FDA for 12 - 20 minutes, or until desired crispiness is achieved. For pan frying, place bacon in a warm frying pan and turn the slices over occasionally for 8 -12 minutes. To Keep: Refrigerate immediately after opening. Product is best if used within 7 days or freeze unopened package for up to 1-year.
