Streaky bacon

Streaky bacon is the standard bacon found in almost every grocery shop. It is usually derived from the animal’s fattier belly and comprises around one part meat to three parts fat. Because of the lengthy layers of fat that run parallel to the rind, streaky bacon got its name. Bacon enthusiasts frequently prefer streaky bacon.

Streaky bacon has a lot of fat and is formed more like a ruler; thus, it’s also known as bacon strips. It’s ideal for wrapping around practically any meat, draping over your Christmas turkey, or putting on a sandwich with barbecue sauce. Oh, and it’s served better crispy, in my view. It is frequently injected with a mixture of salt and sodium nitrate to cure smoky bacon. Various varieties are dry-cured with a dry rub or marinated in a curing solution. After curing, the bacon is smoked if desired and thinly sliced.

Because of its fat, streaky bacon crisps up nicely when cooked, making it excellent for crispy bacon sandwiches. It also complements most foods that can handle its intense flavour and solid texture.
