Elevate your morning routine with a truly exceptional take on a national classic. Our premium Canadian back bacon is crafted exclusively from Ossabaw Island Hogs, a rare heritage breed descended from Spanish pigs left on a secluded barrier island over 500 years ago. Renowned for their incredible, micro-marbled fat structure and intense, nutty flavour, these free-range hogs transform traditional lean back bacon into something extraordinary. Created in small-batch cure and gently smoked.

Ossabaw Island Hogs and their 16th-Centry Spanish Ancestry

Sourced exclusively from our rare-breed, heritage Ossabaw Island Hogs. Descending from historic feral populations off the coast of Georgia that trace back to 16th-century Spanish explorers, the Ossabaw Island Hog is believed to be related to Iberian genetics. Because of this unique lineage, they yield an exceptional culinary profile that commercial pork simply cannot replicate. They are celebrated for their rich, dark meat and a uniquely soft, low-melting-point fat cover that beautifully mimics Spain’s world-famous Jamón Ibérico.
