Wild boar bacon gets crisp and develops good texture, but because it's leaner, it won't curl and buckle quite the same way fatty pork bacon does. It firms up and browns beautifully, with crispy edges and a satisfying bite. The key is cooking it over moderate heat rather than high heat. This gives the fat time to render while the meat crisps without toughening. You'll end up with bacon that's crisp where you want it without being brittle or dry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIs it less greasy when cooked?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbsolutely. Wild boar bacon renders significantly less fat than traditional pork bacon because there's simply less fat in the meat to begin with. You'll see a light coating of fat in your pan rather than a pool of grease. This makes cleanup easier and means you're eating more actual meat and less rendered fat. Some people love this cleaner approach; if you're someone who saves bacon fat for cooking, you'll get less yield from wild boar than from pork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow should it be stored once opened?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce you open the vacuum-sealed package, rewrap any unused bacon tightly in plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container or resealable bag. Keep it refrigerated and use it within a week for best quality. If you've got more than you'll use in that time, separate the slices with parchment paper, wrap well, and freeze them. Frozen bacon keeps for several months and can be cooked straight from frozen if you're in a hurry, just add a minute or two to your cooking time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Butcher Shoppe","offers":[{"title":"4lbs","offer_id":44415353913427,"sku":"72352","price":69.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/7665\/6211\/files\/wild-boar-bacon-whole-1.jpg?v=1769524527"}],"url":"https:\/\/butchershoppedirect.com\/collections\/hams-bacon.oembed","provider":"The Butcher Shoppe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
