Black Treacle Bacon by The Jolly Hog is a distinctive product that combines the robust, smoky flavors of traditional bacon with the rich sweetness of black treacle. This unique flavor profile is achieved by carefully curing slices of premium pork belly with a mixture that includes black treacle, a dark, viscous syrup made from sugarcane or sugar beet.


It is known for its deep, molasses-like taste that adds a complex layer of sweetness to the savory and salty bacon. This bacon is often appreciated for its versatility in various culinary applications, from classic breakfast dishes to more innovative cooking recipes where a touch of sweetness can elevate the overall flavor.
