Today Gourmet Foods of NC - Wild Boar Bacon Our flavorful wild boar bacon is made from wild boar trapped (humanely) outside of San Antonio, Texas. This is bacon, turbocharged with flavor. Wild boar bacon is also much leaner than regular pork, with no sacrifice on flavor. Feral pigs are never hunted, so they never develop the gamey taste that other games can have. Instead, the flavor is bold yet sweet, earthy, and nutty from the tubers, grasses, nuts, and roots that the animals eat when they forage. This gourmet bacon has been lightly smoked and cured, adding saltiness and smokiness to the profile. It's also much leaner than regular pork without skimping on the sheer enjoyment factor of regular bacon. Because wild boars are an invasive, destructive species without any natural predators, eating this bacon is also a sustainable choice! The wild boar is trapped humanely, never chased. Feral pigs roam the countryside, living a natural, free-grazing lifestyle devoid of antibiotics, hormones, or chemicals. KEY FEATURES It is much more fragrant and has a tremendous depth of character that you’ll never find in factory pork.Wild boar comes in the same cuts as pork and can be substituted for pork in dishes like pork.Compared to pork, wild boar is lower in calories, fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol and is higher in protein.
