I picked this bacon up at my local Winco Foods for a steal. The bacon is nice and thick, and averages 60/40 fat to meat ratio. The outside is a light tan showing minimal smoking or wet smoking. I prepared it in a stainless pan on the stovetop. 8 slices of bacon produced around 3/4 of a cup of bacon drippings. Certainly a fattier bacon than i like but i assure you, the drippings shall not go to waste.
The final product showed less shrinking than average store bought bacon. The flavor was quite generic and typical of a simple sugar/salt cure. It was quite salty. Saltier than i like for eating out of hand, but good for cooking with and topping.
Overall, this was a good value for the money ($2.29/lb) and i would more than likely buy again. Im gonna give this a 7 out of 10.
