Description
A celebration of our Yorkshire roots, this is our classic unsmoked back bacon - dry-cured by hand and cut from free-range British pork. Named after Ripon Cathedral, this bacon reflects where our story began: with high-welfare livestock and lush Dales pastures.
Made using whole muscle cuts rather than reformed meat, it delivers the deeper, richer flavour you expect from traditional back bacon. Each rasher is thick enough to stay juicy in the pan, yet lean enough to crisp beautifully on the edge.
Whether you're stacking it in a weekend sandwich, serving it alongside eggs, or using it to add flavour to pasta and pies, this is bacon as it should be - simple, honest, and packed with flavour.
Keep it classic with unsmoked or try our smoked version for something bolder.

FAQ
Back bacon meal ideas
Back bacon is incredibly versatile and deserves more than just a breakfast plate. Here are a few ways to enjoy it throughout the week:
The ultimate bacon sandwich - thick-cut bread, a smear of brown sauce or ketchup, and piping hot bacon straight from the pan.
Add depth to pasta dishes - chop and sauté for a punch of savoury flavour in creamy tagliatelle or carbonara-style sauces.
Wrap it up - use back bacon to wrap chicken breasts or pork tenderloin for extra moisture and flavour.
Top your salads - grill until crisp and crumble over a warm spinach or Caesar salad for salty crunch.
Upgrade your brunch - serve with poached eggs, crushed potatoes, and grilled tomatoes for a café-style plate at home.
It's a British staple for a reason - savoury, satisfying, and endlessly adaptable.
What is back bacon?
Back bacon is a British cut that includes both the loin and a small portion of belly, giving you the best of both worlds - lean and tender meat with a streak of fat for flavour.
How long to cook back bacon in the air fryer?
Air fry back bacon at 180°C for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway. Timing may vary slightly depending on thickness and crispiness preference.
Streaky bacon vs back bacon – what’s the difference?
Streaky bacon is cut from the belly and is fattier, often used for wrapping or crisping. Back bacon is a leaner, thicker cut with a more traditional British flavour and bite.
