Bende Smoked Hungarian Style Bacon Approx. 0.8 lbs PLU 72 F

Bende Smoked Hungarian Style Bacon, also known as Kolozsvári Szalonna, is a traditional Eastern European dry cured and smoked bacon prepared using old-world Hungarian and Balkan smoking methods. Made from carefully selected cuts of pork and seasoned with a simple salt-based cure and garlic, this specialty bacon is slowly smoked to develop its rich aroma, savory flavor, and authentic smoky character.

Unlike typical American breakfast bacon, Kolozsvári Szalonna is thicker, firmer, and traditionally enjoyed in a variety of ways throughout Hungary, Romania, and the Balkans. Its rich smoky flavor and hearty texture make it a staple on charcuterie boards and traditional appetizer platters, often served sliced alongside fresh bread, cheese, onions, pickles, peppers, and homemade spreads.

This smoked bacon can be enjoyed ready to eat in thin slices, lightly pan fried, or used as a flavorful ingredient in hearty homemade dishes. It is especially popular in beans, cabbage dishes, potatoes, stews, soups, and other slow-cooked comfort foods where the smoky pork flavor adds richness and depth to the meal. Small pieces can also be rendered down to flavor vegetables, eggs, or rustic skillet dishes.

A beloved staple in many Eastern European kitchens, Bende Smoked Hungarian Style Bacon brings authentic old-world flavor and tradition to your table with every bite.
