BEST BACON IN COUNTRY

 

  The Best Bacon in the Country proclaims Mahogany Smoked Meats of Bishop California. I had to find  out for myself and ordered a four pound slab to be delivered. Mahogany Meats uses a double smoking method for 24 hours which is not really explained. They also use mahogany wood as their smoke addition. I received my shipment in a Styrofoam box with some ice packs. I removed the shrink wrap to release the most wonderful smell in the country and possibly the whole wide world. The aroma wafted throughout the kitchen perfuming the air with pleasant comforting smoked meatful delights. This slab had the perfect ration of fat to meat. We immediately brought out the black iron and fried up a couple of rashers. This bacon had the perfect cure of sugar and salt. Sometimes bacon is cured on the sweet side causing the sugars to caramelize, char and even burn. This was not the case and the frying created a crisp product that brought a tear to my eye. Yes, Yes, Yes, this was bacon perfection. The pork flavor shined and complimented the fat, smoke, sweet, salt and texture of this bacon. Is Mahogany Smoked Meats the best in the country? I am not sure but it is most excellent and receives the Chilebrown seal of approval. I will continue my search for the Gold Standard.
