Bacon
Until the late 1800's bacon was typically dry-cured using salt and hung to age above the fireplace. The Wiltshire Cure method of curing bacon in brine revolutionized the ability to preserve meat without using too much salt. Most mass-produced bacon is not only cured in brine but pumped with water and high levels of phosphates to speed up the process and add volume.
Denninger's bacons are naturally cured and smoked, resulting in a fabulous flavour and texture.

Smoked Specialties
Kassler
This delicious German pork specialty is made from hand-selected and trimmed pork loins in a seasoned brine. It is then slowly smoked over aromatic wood chips. Our deli counter sells Kassler fully cooked and it only needs to be heated through either on the BBQ, in the oven, or in a frying pan.
Smoked Duck Breast
Dry cured duck breast slowly smoked until golden brown.
