Our Merlin’s Market British Bacon is special, and not just because we work with a local, award-winning butcher who’s been inducted into the Cured Meats Hall of Fame. Unlike American bacon that’s made from pork belly, British bacon is made from the back of the big—or the pork loin, so it’s not fatty at all. Some of our clients say its flavor is similar to that of a very thin pork chop.
Looking for the perfect lean protein addition to your breakfast? Or for a twist on a BLT? Give this bacon a try—it’s the same wildly popular British bacon that we use in our Excaliburger and mac and cheese at Merlins Rest Pub.
Only the finest ingredients
pork loin, salt, water
Heating, eating & storing your British bacon
Lightly spray your favorite skillet with a bit of oil, and then heat your British bacon for about 4 minutes on each side. That’s it! You can also heat your bacon in a 375-degree oven for approximately 15 minutes, placing the bacon on a sheet pan with a rack.
Eat at least one slice immediately (because it’s delicious and the best British bacon you can get here in America). You might also try it with a bacon sandwich on high-quality, crusty bread with butter and, of course, HP Sauce. It’s also great as an addition to mac and cheese. We recommend eating your bacon immediately once cooked or within 24 hours.
Your British bacon will be shipped raw, and it can be refrigerated for up to 5 days prior to cooking or stored in the freezer for up to 6 months when properly wrapped.

What do people say about our cured meats?
I am a big fan of English-style bangers, and I must say Merlin's Market does not disappoint! Their sausages are perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of herbs and spices, and the texture is spot on. My guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious they were. I will definitely be purchasing these sausages again in the future.
I recently purchased some British Bacon from Merlin's Market and it was some of the most delicious bacon I have ever tasted. The texture was perfect—not fatty and not too —and the flavor was rich and savory. I cooked it up for breakfast and my whole family couldn't get enough of it.
