Manuka Smoked Middle Eye Bacon
The eye is selected from the Middle Loin and provides a leaner and smaller rasher of bacon. It is best cooked in a medium hot pan or under a hot grill and is an ideal size for homemade Eggs Benedict, or served as a whole rasher for a weekend brunch. Hellers Middle Bacon is cured and manuka smoked to give it that distinctive flavour and yet it’s great value and a real winner with the whole family.
