La Quercia
Smoked Tamworth Bacon

$18.99/EA
Tamworth pigs, with their distinctive red hair and splotchy coloring, are prized for their fatty, sweet belly meat. It seems appropriate then for these bellies be turned into the epitome of pork belly salumi – bacon. Fully cured, and smoked over real apple wood in La Quercia’s top-notch curing facility in Iowa, you’ve never had bacon like this. This bacon can be eaten raw, sliced thinly and draped over grissini, or cut thickly and cooked until just perfectly crispy.

Meet The Maker

How did a family in Norwalk, Iowa come to produce some of the best cured meats in the world? It started with tradition: After three and a half years in Parma, Italy, Herb and Kathy Eckhouse brought classic techniques back home to create their signature salumi, something they say “expresses our appreciation for the beauty and bounty of Iowa”. Adding responsible sourcing and sustainability to the recipe means that their products don’t just taste great, they’re also produced with the highest standards and best quality ingredients around.

To help more people get a bite of the good stuff, we now offer the full La Quercia line as well as curated selections that will make any meat lover squeal with delight.
