Inferno Bacon

Batch Code: BAC157

Comments
A delightfully "hot" cure. Made from PiriPiri chillies and Oak Smoked Sea Salt.

The Piri Piri chillies come from the very wonderful Oxfordshire Chilli Garden ( https://oxfordshirechilligarden.co.uk ) and are supplied to us dried and powdered. We mix this into our cure and it leaves a beautiful red crust on the outside of the bacon.

From Halen Mon - Anglesey. Delivered by courier.

Supplied By:

Halon Môn [https://www.halenmon.com]

Sea Salt Manufacturer

Halon Môn are based in one of the loveliest parts of Wales. They source their salt from the Menai Straits. After graduating from Bangor University, where where the founders had fallen in love with each other and the island of Anglesey, they started looking for ways that would allow them to continue to live and work in this area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

In 1997, they left a saucepan of seawater to boil on the Aga in their family kitchen aga and as the salt crystals started to form, they knew they'd struck culinary gold. In 1999, they started supplying Halen Môn Sea Salt to Swains, their local butchers in Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey, and now we use it too.

We love this story and love their products and any company that has not one, but two dogs on their "Who are we" page definitely deserve to be suppliers!
