Schneiders® Hickory Smoked Classic Cut Bacon proves that when it comes to great bacon, there are no shortcuts for time and care. Though bacon seems simple, Schneiders® has put decades of practice into perfecting the craft of this beloved breakfast food. It starts with the highest-quality pork belly, the ideal balance of salt and cane sugar in the brine, and a special mix of North American hickory and applewood for smoking. It is gently hung by hand to ensure it smokes evenly, then sliced nice and thick. Since 1890, Schneiders® brand has established a rich heritage of original and authentic recipes, using premium ingredients and taking all the time needed to honour the origin and inspiration of each recipe. Quality never gets old™.
