Blade fatback, cold-smoked 500g

Shoulder bacon is a special product from the pork shoulder area, where meat and fat form a harmonious blend with a more prominent layer of meat than traditional bacon. The cold smoking process gives this bacon a subtle oak smoke aroma, which complements the natural taste of the meat without overpowering it. This is a more gourmet bacon option for those looking for something more than a standard product.

Vipika's shoulder bacon is characterized by a special texture – it is slightly firmer and meatier than regular bacon, making it perfect for slicing thinly. Thanks to cold smoking, its color is beautifully golden on the outside and reddish-white on the inside, and its aroma is warm, smoky, and inviting. The 500-gram package is an optimal portion for a week's meat supply.

This product is a true pearl of Lithuanian cuisine that can be used in many dishes. Shoulder bacon is perfect as a snack with rye bread and pickled cucumbers, as an addition to soups (especially pea or cabbage), or as a rich ingredient in potato dishes. Its versatility and affordable cost make it a popular choice among Vipika customers.

Culinary Inspiration: Cut the shoulder bacon into cubes and slowly fry in a pan – you will get crispy cracklings that you can sprinkle on cabbage salads, boiled potatoes, or pea soup. The remaining fat in the pan is an excellent base for frying eggs.
